After the game Adrianna Hartman was excited about her team’s success, “ we almost have as many wins this season as we had last year, we are really starting to find our identity as a team.” When asked what her personal goals were Hartmann said “ I still have a long way to go, personally I want 2 blocks per set, but my hitting percentage im doing well.” Focus is key for this year’s squad, short term memory is good for the wins and the losses. This was echoed by Hartmann and coach Phillips who said “ we celebrate this win but then tomorrow we get ready for our next opponent” winning 10 games in a row is special but winning the first game of the conference season is more important.
