Our Varsity Golden Bears were reunited on the floor last night free of injury and ready to compete after some focused practices this week.

Coaches were very pleased with the performance of our Golden Bears in sets 1 and 3 as they showed some definite signs of improvement and growth with their willingness to compete and defensively read the ball. Of special note tonight was Junior Addi Grove. Addi was able to return to the floor tonight after recovering from her ankle injury. She put up some impressive stats with 1 ace, 3 kills, 4 receptions, 1 block, and 7 digs. Aside from that, she is the player of the match because of her mental game tonight.
