"Our girls did a great job this past weekend," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "We have been working hard on our blocking and attack patterns in our spring practices, so I felt we executed great things in our matches "Devine said.  "It was also good to see the girls doing so well in secondary positions as we are trying to add depth and versatility to the squad."
