Coach Thoughts
Kim Berrington, SHU: The first set was back-and-forth, but I think our players did a great job of being patient and paying attention. They had a little different lineup than we thought originally. We made a few adjustments and it paid off throughout the match. We got more confident and a little stronger. Another great sweep.
