"It was a great start to senior weekend," exclaimed Head Coach Scott Smith. "I felt like our offense was really clicking and the whole team was playing loose and confidently. I would like to play a little cleaner from the service line and in serve receive but overall, I was pleased with our effort and ability to show off our depth! It will be important to carry those lessons over to tomorrow's match when we honor our seniors!"
With a win tomorrow, the Bulls will clinch a spot in the MAC Tournament.
The Bulls are back in action tomorrow for their final home game of the season. Following the match, the team will honor their nine seniors.
