Here's an excerpt:
Coach Rose had this to say after the match:
I thought it was great to be home. Having the energy from the band and the crowd makes a big difference in how the kids feel about their efforts. In the first game we served and passed well, and we returned to that in the third game. In the second game we stalled a little bit, and didn’t put up much of a defensive effort. Even though we were scoring offensively in game 2, we weren’t playing very good defense.
But Yale is always a tough team to play against, because all of the players have really high volleyball IQs, and they’re accustomed to playing with good players because most of them played on the top club teams in California. They can be impacted by the crowd, I would think, because they probably don’t see a lot of that in the Ivies. I thought Haleigh Washington played really well, blocked well and hit well; I think Kendall White probably had her career best with four aces, and passed well. I thought it was a good overall match for us.
