“Headed to the games we knew we would be up against the most challenging teams and having the youngest team there increased the challenge,” said volleyball coach Kam Siemens. “The goal of the team was to ensure we elevated our game play and could compete with the best of the best. Although we placed 8th out of eight, the girls showed the other teams they were not going to just hand over the win. Every match we had was neck and neck and the competition had to earn each point. I am very proud of our girls.”
