“We came out focused and ready to play,” said coach Jaime Keiser. “We were two very similar teams and it was back and forth the first four sets. I thought we had the momentum going into game 5. It all came down to attacking and who could make less mistakes and we came up a little short,” said Keiser.
“The last few points Belle Fourche got it to their bigger hitter which got us out of system and we had a hard time attacking the ball. We played with a lot of heart and left it all on the court. It was a tough loss,” said the coach.
