"They are a good defensive team and they are good at the net," said Head Coach Beth Launiere. "They didn't get to the net as often as they wanted and that hindered their offense. We mixed the offense up and we needed to do that in order to work both sides of the court. Our comfort level at home helps our offense and I am pleased with our play tonight. "
