“We had a great start and controlled the game, but in the second set, our receiving was a bit off. By the third set, we were able to adjust to what Akari was doing,” said coach Dante Alinsunurin.
“And it continued until the fourth set, so I’m very thankful for how we played. Every time we faced a problem, we were able to make the necessary adjustments and execute them well,” he added.
