“We got things figured out and did a great job of attacking the ball. Kimball had some good hitters and we had a hard time stopping them in the third set. In the 4th and 5th set we did a great job of getting blocks and touches on their hitters. I was proud of the girls for adapting to new rotation,” said the coach.
