COMMENTS BY COACH LEONARD
"It was a competitive match against a strong team tonight. We were really happy with our passing and our OH's with their ability to play a solid match against a big blocking team. We learn the most from matches like these and have a quick turnaround for our match tomorrow against a very similar team."
