All I will say is it was UGLY.

That's being kind.

Losing is often ugly.

 

Congratulations to Beechwood. Jenna Fessler and Jasmine Stokes did a great job of delivering hittable sets, and the two OH’s (Liz Pawsat and Taylor Weibel) accounted for most of the kills on the Beechwood side. The team played with a lot of emotion and it carried through in their play.
