“We faced two strong teams today. Our serves were better against Hays but when the ball came back over to our side, we didn’t communicate well,” said Coach Tami Malm. “We communicated and passed better against Great Bend but just couldn’t get over the hump. The girls showed some great hustle in our second match but we were just too inconsistent all the way around. “
