QUOTABLES
Head Coach Sandra Worman
"The team had an extreme exercise in handling new things and curve balls. We flew for the first time as a team, and it was the very first flight experience for Courtney (Weekley) and Chastity (Price). I was thrilled with how professional and focused the team was at the match. Their performance was outstanding, and their poise under pressure impressed me."
