COACHES CORNER

"I thought tonight that Ariel had a great game offensively and hit her highest percentage on the year," said Wilmington head coach Tim O'Brien. "I think as a team we are still learning to reduce unforced errors, and that's where we struggled the most tonight. Between serving and serve receive we had too many mistakes and ultimately that was the difference in the match."
