“It was a great third set for both teams,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “We have been plagued by injuries and sickness and I'm proud the girls still played well in the third and fourth sets after we were able to make some changes. The coaching staff at Bonneville has done such a great job with their teams. Bonneville has looked better than I have ever seen them, and both of our previous matches went 3-2 and 2-1 with us winning prior, but this time they were the victor.”
