"We knew going into Saturday's match that it was going to be a tough game with already having a 5 set loss to Brandywine earlier in the season," Head Coach Jenn Stremmel comments. "We fought back in the second and third sets after being down but it just wasn't enough to pull out a set with close 23-25 scores. We certainly look forward to facing them again in playoffs this weekend," Coach Stremmel adds.
