Coach Kozar expressed, "The Lions had a great win tonight. We as a team broke through several barriers. Not only did we win our first five set match, but we won our first single game away from our home court. The girls fought hard through all five sets. We adjusted throughout the game and came out victorious. All eleven players from the bench, to the Libero, to the setter, to our hitters, all played their roles on and off the court. The girls showed extreme teamwork and persistence which led to our VICTORY!"
