"It's good to be home!" said head coach
Molly Karagyaurov. "Our road schedule has been absolutely brutal to start this season. It was a relief this week to not have to worry about missing as many classes or getting back at 1am. As far as the match, 35-33 might be in the highest set score I've ever been apart of in a college match. Missouri Valley is on the rise and it definitely showed last night. The rematch at their place will be another tough match I'm sure! I'm proud of the girls. They executed. But there is no more time to enjoy it - we are already studying film for Friday and Saturday for two more big games!"
