COACHES COMMENT: "They're a fun team to play, hats off to their libero who is a phenomenal player, and we tried our best to not target him," said head coach
Spencer Fredrick. "Unfortunately, our service errors hurt us in the first set. The next two sets were only decided by a couple points, but we made sure to let them earn those points as best as we could. Tremendously job by Brady for stepping it up when it mattered and also Giovanni from the service line as well to help with our substitution count. We are looking forward to playing Baldwin Wallace tomorrow!"

UP NEXT: The Knights will be back in action tomorrow when they bounce over to Baldwin Wallace to take on the Hornets at 1PM.Â
