From Coach
"It just felt amazing to be back out there with the team. The mood was all around positive today. Usually, a team has their first match jitters, but I didn't really see any nervousness today. They played loose and really enjoyed their time on the court. I think we all needed today after the year we had. I saw a lot of good today. A few things to clean up this week at practice, but I know they are already looking forward to Eastern next weekend." - Head Coach Tom Battaglia
