"This weekend we saw some incredible growth in our team. We got to see our players invest in each other and come together as a group. Even though we ran several different lineups, the Tigers persevered by communicating and work hard through adversity. The team's best match was with Manhattan Christian College where they took a set from MCC and played at their best tempo on the weekend. Looking forward to our 1^st conference matches of the season this weekend the team looks ready to compete!"
