Coach Karli Morrison: “I like how we’ve started the season, but I look at the losses more than the wins at this point. We’ve learned a lot more in the five losses and though we have competed well in those games, we have a lot to work on. Kambree has been a huge influence on this team this year. We have a lot of young players and Kambree has been the most consistent on this team so far. I love how she leads and her serving has improved. She has always been a great defensive player, but she has gotten so much better on herself. She is a perfectionist and she always had trough of letting things go. I think this year she is doing a better job of relying on her team and letting go of those mistakes.”

Gonzalez: “This team has grown a lot as the season has gone on. We’re learning how to play together and we’re learning on how to rely on one another. For myself, I feel my leadership has gotten better and I’m doing my best to be an example for my teammates. I think I’ve gotten better and I know I can keep improving. I’m trying to let go of my mistakes more, and I know that’s where my teammates come in. I know they can pick me up and they are always there for me.”
