Coach Young’s Notes:
“PW is a perennial powerhouse. In our first meeting this season, they swept us in three straight sets. They’re full of athletic, disciplined players who compete at a very high level. Our team has been working tirelessly to change the trajectory of this program after a few underwhelming years. Up to this point, we’ve handled most of our 50/50 matches but hadn’t won them in a convincing fashion, nor had we truly tested great programs like PW or Upper Dublin. I’m beyond proud of this group for gutting it out, staying disciplined, and trusting the process in pressure moments. I’m excited to see what we can bring into the playoffs.”
