Match Summary
Our passing and defense continue to improve! Error reduction is getting better also. It was fun to watch the seniors provide positive leadership to our younger players. For the first time this season our team worked together. The atmosphere on the bench was noticibly different. The Owls are understanding the importance of being a productive member of our "volleyball team community". Isabel Gothard continues to play with contagious confidence. We have many areas to work on but this was definitely a big step forward for the Owls. It proves that there is still a lot of Pride on the Westside!
