The conference is very balanced. It's as balanced as I've seen it. Brandon Valley, Brookings, Yankton and Huron are very good teams.

I have to give our kids and our coaches credit. We worked hard. Our senior leadership is good.

If you look at our hitting stats, our hitting stats are not very good. A lot of those points were given up in games one and three.

I'm really proud of our girls for keeping their composure after we fell behind. Even in games three and four, there were times where we were down by five, six and even seven points. The girls kept their composure and found a way to come through.

It really shows on paper what I've always known. This team has a lot of heart.

I've never been around an athlete who thinks that winning and doing it right is so important. I've never seen her take a short cut. She's a great kid and a great asset to our program. Hopefully, we will have kids that follow her path. She is a great role model for our team and our program.

We came out a little bit flat. Our serving was kind of poor I thought. It was right around 80 percent and we need to be better than that. We were a little jet-lagged but we came through.

We believe that the way we run our offense and defense is the way we want to play. We didn't make changes. Their serve receive broke down. I consider Yankton one of the top teams in the state.

We christened it, tonight. We feel pretty good about that, because they came out with a lot of energy.

Pierre played some good rallies early in the match. They're doing better and better all the time. They had a couple of injuries tonight (Tuesday). We weren't very patient. We weren't attacking the ball aggressively. We were settling for things that were not aggressive and it wasn't working out for us.
