“Today was a great game. Claire (McLoughlin)was forced into action when Nicole (Blandford) went down with a sprained thumb. The entire team stepped up around her and we battled through a tough five setter. The turning point might of been when Emily (Carroll) went back in the 4th set to run off three straight service aces. What a complete team effort though,” said UFV head coach Dennis Bokenfohr.
