Coach Ashley Herman said, “We put together our best offensive and defensive match of the day in the finals against a very strong Pittsford squad. We doubled our hitting efficiency, had 6 aces, and 36 digs in the 3 set win. Set three was a thriller and went into extra points. The girls never gave up and battled through complete exhaustion to leave with the Silver Bracket trophy. I continue to be impressed with the way this team is able to battle. We have had so many extra set matches this season and very few times have they not come away from those matches with a win! We finish up conference play this week with Quincy at home on Tuesday and then travel to Reading for the conference tournament on Saturday. We are looking to finish strong and have another strong Saturday showing next weekend!”
