Comments from Coach Gaby Jobst:
"We are still working through the same issues that plagued us in the first half: consistency of play from individuals seems to be our biggest concern. We see shining moments from one or two people but it's never all 6 people on the court doing what they need to do and it's tough to ride on the coat tails of a select few to win matches."
"The girls are clearly working hard for balls but the bottom line is that we need to execute with confidence right up until the final point. Lakehead really came after us this weekend and earned a lot of points by constantly playing with aggression at the net and exhibiting a relentless attitude in defence. We could learn from that mindset."
"I was really proud of
Mikaela Klie (/)'s play this weekend. Overall, she brought to the table pretty much what we needed from her. We have 2 very difficult matches on the road coming up against Ottawa and Queen's. To do well against either team, we'll need to significantly improve our individual performances as well as execute a good game plan."
