COACHES COMMENT: "To go 3-1 over the last few days of a lot of volleyball with not much practice or recovery time speaks to the resilience that this team brought," said
Spencer Fredrick. "We had a next man up mentality and
Jake Davidson, Gio Serafini were prime examples of that this week. We made sure to keep it simple and in the process we were able to keep our middles in rhythm the whole match and able to exploit mismatches on the right side with Bryce and Gabe."
UP NEXT: The Knights will be back in action on Friday, February 14th when they take on St. Norbert at 8PM on the first day of the Calvin Invite.
