As you can see by the scores, the girls had fun during the tournament. It was a long day of playing games, but it was worth it as they continued to build their confidence. Coach McKenney said, "We lost a tough match against Chinook this week. Our serving really killed us, which was disappointing. Chinook came ready to play, and we did not rise to the occasion. We then lost a close 5-set match against Centerville. While we did not play to our full potential, I was proud of our comeback in the 4th set. Anytime a match goes to 5 sets, it's anyone's game at that point. Losing 15-17 is tough, but luckily, we had the opportunity to play Centerville in the North Star Showcase the next day. We beat them in a best of 3 matches, which felt good. We have a huge week ahead, and I hope our wins on Saturday will give us the confidence we need to perform
well."
