NOTES
FROM HEAD COACH MARY TENDLER
"Even though we lost tonight, there were definitely some positives. We defended well in the second set and our offense got going in the third. Syd's experience really showed tonight, she made some great decisions at the net. It's a quick turnaround to the match tomorrow, which will be good for us."
UP NEXT
- The maroon and gold will be back in TU Arena tomorrow for a 2 p.m. match against the Tigers.
