Northwest head coach
Steve Bain commented, "Walla Walla brought terrific energy into the gym tonight and played the last point as hard as they did the first. Â For the most part, our ladies did a good job of controlling our side of the net, but I think we can do a better job of staying in the moment and bringing physical and mental energy to each point. It's an area that we have marked for improvement, and I know the match tonight reinforced that lesson."
