Words From Coach Worman
"This match was the second in a sequence that was designed to identify where we are improving and where we have areas for improvement. It was a good test because they had two days off after the last match and then we left on Thursday for this match. Our training objectives have been made clear, and we are happy to have the time to dig into our to-do list before the next match. The team performed very well and we're particularly resilient about the inevitable curve ball that always seem to come flying at our heads."
