Brynden MacTavish – Lead Assistant Coach
"Their offence gave us some difficulty early as we were learning their attackers. Offensively, we had some trouble finding consistent scoring. Oure offence found its mark in the third and fourth sets, which was highlighted by a great showing from
Maryn Boldon (Okotoks, Alta.). Maryn and
Kaylee Plouffe (Sherwood Park, Alta.) set the tone with a few big blocks early in the 4
th set. A very resilient win by the younger group we had out there."
