“We came out pretty flat the first set and then set three we dug ourselves a pretty big hole only to fight back and come up short. We have to be mentally prepared to play every set,” coach Stephanie Reveal said. “We have a huge week. We travel to New Richmond Tuesday, host Western Brown Wednesday and then go to Goshen Thursday. So we have to be ready for each match.”
