We struggled returning their strong servers and couldn't seem to return theirs. Chloe Watson played well with 4 service winners, a pair of kills and a dig. We look for a strong performance tonight from these girls to get us back on track. Congratulations to a much improved DCS team. Haley Johnson has them headed in the right direction.
