COMMENTS
Despite not having a full team for most of our matches on Saturday, we played very well against the Des Moines area teams. This was a great tournament for us to learn where we are weakest in our game. Those areas were exposed in all of the matches we played. I thought we handled the pressure very well in pool play, but those three matches took a toll on us physically as it showed in our 4th match with North Polk. We made too many errors and were just tired and couldn’t battle. Many great aspects of our game came together this weekend and we will build on those positive aspects along with getting better with our weaknesses. We play a tough conference match on Tuesday at Knoxville.
