Match Summary
Controversial call to end the match. Disappointing, but a learning moment like all others. Hope Mortensen had a career night, 14 kills and 10 blocks while Jensyn McCoy added 19 digs followed by Marney Wilson's 11. Brittney added 27 assists in the match to lead the offense. As the Wolves push toward Districts, there are a lot of things they need to clean up and refine, namely making in-match adjustments based on what the opponent is doing. Also, finding consistent play both front and back court will help the Wolves find the rhythm they lacked tonight, which will ultimately translate into wins. The team has a choice....to push forward or to fold. To fight or to die. I think they will fight. They will figure it out, and the season will progress as anticipated.
