COACH TAMI MILLER'S COMMENTS

• [Saturday] was another team effort for the Lady Ravens.
• We had a big win against a talented Sewanee team. We had a very balanced offense in the frontcourt and saw Shaylen Perry return to her offensive prowess. Newcomers Shelby Lasure, Trinity Benedict, Paige Ricica and Taylor Ridge all contributed great hitting numbers to our offense. The backcourt was controlled by Lauren Dungan's alert play and Shelby's speed.
• The second match against Kenyon was a bit more unpredictable. Their size proved to be a challenge for our attackers, but we were able to mix up shots and defend the court with some key blocks and a balanced attack.
• It was great to see a 3-0 weekend and win a five-set match!
