This game was tough! The Wildcats had a strong server and a great hitter that kept the Tiger’s on their toes! Throughout the match the Tigers had a lot of highs and a lot of lows. However, as the Tigers add more skills to their volleyball toolbox there will be growing pains with the adaptation and application of those new skills. This team will continue to push through the obstacles and find ways to get better everyday! Keep it up Tigers!
