“Tonight we saw a great match at Underwood,” said Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Kelly Olson.   “I liked that we came ready to play.  I saw a different team than we were not only from a month ago, but we were also different from Monday.  The biggest difference for us was twofold.  First I thought we played much better team defense.  Our ability to block effectively and pick balls up off those blocks was much better.  We also did a much better job of reading the hitters from the back row. Getting a few more touches on offense gave a few more attacks.  I felt in the sets we won we had good pressure on Underwood.  We played with more focus.  I think we let set 4 slip away.  Underwood was on the fence and could’ve lost that set, but they held on and in the end really took it to us.  Even set five was a roller coaster with us jumping to a 5-2 lead only to see them tie it back up at 5.  We fought through a tough stretch there in set five and really played well to finish them off at 15-7.  Overall, it was a fun match to be a part of and we look forward to trying to get better moving into a road match on Tuesday in Sebeka and hosting Wheaton on Thursday next week.”
