The stats tell me 3-1. The primary passers did their job and did it well. I will admit that I did not see 1.99 coming! Those four girls, Wagner, Viney, Hayslett, and Freeman, were fantastic. Serving was a mixed bag. The first three servers were really good (McMains, Paige, and Schroder) with McMains being great. After that it gets pretty average pretty fast. The problem area is hitting. It is hard to win consistently when the left side hitters are hitting zero and a negative number. The middles were good. Wagner's 83 swings easily led the team and both hit over .200. M. Viney did not get set much, but contributed .230. It is tough to win when a team hits less than .100, and we hit .094.
