Coaches' Notes
"After a long week, we are feeling tired tough travel schedule. A lot of driving but the team pulled through. A few standout players from this weekend. Jordan VonBorstel has been playing great. Against Merced Borstel was holding a 1.00% hitting for the entire match until the 5th. Gabriel Pizza was stellar as usual along with Ilias being able to take the court finally. Leo Garcia was dominating in every defensive category.
