We had a lot of key components that helped us finish that game. Lauren and Reagan both had great nights in the front row. Honour was the anchor in the back row, and was a great leader that helped solidify the match. Nyla was big for us tonight, adding eight kills. Isabella tallied 51 assists. Being able to spread out the offense and have other people get kills was huge." The Dragons also won the JV match 25-9, 25-13.
