“Well a nice rest and a refreshed team proved to be a recipe for success,” said coach Chris Green, whose team had played their third game in as many days. “The team was especially committed today and wanted to dedicate this game.”

“From the first set there was little question we were playing well and all cylinders were firing,” comment Green post game. “Masters had great passing and hitters could not miss. A let down in the 3rd ruffled a perfect afternoon and we had 2 swings to win the 3rd.”

Master finished the game with 43 assists and 13 digs of her own, in addition to a couple blocks at the net.

“The girls had a mission to win out this weekend. They battled in the fourth and kept stable and confident.

As coaches we are proud of their success this weekend.”

The women’s team will return home to play the Waterloo Warriors twice next weekend.
