“We struggled at first with trying to find our rhythm and play Ogden Volleyball,” commented Coach Samantha Sperling. “We weren’t quite ourselves. There were spurts during the tournament that we played really well together and as a team and others where we let them get on a run. This was our first game of the season and we know what we need to work on to become a better team.  We have a busy week ahead of us with three games and look forward to improving.”
