When asked about the weekend at the GFCC tournament, Coach Brittany said, “I thought we played well in the GFCC tournament. We only played three teams (2 sets to 25—starting at 5 points each, so technically 2 sets to 20 points). It felt like a quick morning, but we did some good things. It’s still early in the season, so we have plenty to keep working on.”
