HEAR FROM COACH BAREA
"Huge team win today! Our defensive intensity has been a focus for us the past couple weeks and today we saw that pay off. We were very good from behind the service line which gave us the ability to get in system more often. Every person did their job and stayed together as team during the entire match."
