We talked to Coach Kenny Ma after the match on the warriors win against Friends. Coaches' Notes " This win feels great to finally pull off as it's tough to lose two matches in 5 sets the day before. Honestly, this win was 100% a team effort. We were able to relieve some of our starters from yesterdays. Everyone that we were able to put onto the court shined and they were able to showcase how much depth we have on our team. Mia Scheepens definitely stood out the most to us as today she was able to showcase her ability to truly be an effective 6-rotation outside hitter. We are taking our teams mindset and attitude extremely serious for this tournament. As this is our season opener, we want to make sure that we establish the culture we want from the very beginning. We are using this weekend to really emphasize on our culture. We are focusing on being a team on and off the court."
