"The Warrior varsity is highly regarded in the state, so we expected that since they beat us 9-0 in our dual two years ago, they would still be hard to beat," said Tanager coach Nick Hovden. "However, we had a few matches which were very competitive and several games went to three sets while a lot of games went to deuce. That tells me that the match might go either way.
"It was great for Washington to bring a full team," he continued. "Our JV players finally had a chance to gain some experience in competition. Our hope is we can accept the hard work we've put in during the past couple weeks will soon garner better results."
