Nancy Hoeke, head coach for Milbank, commented, “Overall, the girls had a good day. We had some decent stretches where we kept scoring points and didn’t give up big runs. That is key to playing steady, consistent volleyball and raising the level of a truly competitive team.”

“Each of our 16 players got into a game for at least a few points,” Hoeke added. “It’s fun when teammates are excited for and encouraging their teammates on the court.”
