CARLIN'S COURSE OF THOUGHT
"We took some important steps today as a team, playing disciplined volleyball and keeping our composure through times of stress.  I'm proud of the players.  They have definitely earned the 11-2 start to the season and have a lot to be proud of.  Carrying this momentum into conference play next weekend is the next step for us."
