Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"We had a lot of good things going today. Across the board, we had probably our strongest performance in slings which was nice to see as we've put a lot of effort into that. I think we're still getting used to shooting higher scores and managing thoughts/nerves/expectations that accompany a higher level of performance. Once that starts to click, I think we'll see standing at air rise as well. I'm proud of the efforts given from the team this weekend but Abby, myself, and all nine team members know there is so much more left in the tank. We look forward to getting back to work this week in practice before our match next weekend."
