Comments by Head Coach, Gaby Jobst:

"York certainly outperformed us offensively this weekend, not necessarily because they had more kills but because they made far fewer errors as a team. Every one of their players contributed to their offensive success. We lacked that kind of performance on our side. And I thought we played flat. We had some terrific rallies at times but that constant competitive spirit and energy only came on in spurts. We are working on bettering some team initiatives during training and I saw many of the girls trying to apply those concepts during the match so that aspect for me is a positive. But it's not until we can all perform with those same tactics in mind that we're going to see the success we want."
