COACH TAMI MILLER'S COMMENTS

• The Ravens got off to a great start this weekend with two wins against Asbury and Olivet.
• Freshman Taylor Ridge recorded a .600 hitting percentage against Asbury. Shaylen Perry also had a complete game with a .267 in the front court, three aces and solid defensive play.
• In the second match with Olivet, the Ravens got their revenge with a great win after losing to them earlier in the week. Shaylen, Paige Ricica and Olivia Ricica were a great trio hitting wise. We had solid defense in the backcourt from Lauren Dungan and Shelby Lasure, and our setters helped seal the win.
• The two wins were a true team victory with the encouragement from the sidelines, helping keep the Raven confidence high. All in all, it is a great day to be a Raven!!
