I thought they both played well. they didn't hit at as high of a percentage as they've been hitting but good enough to get the job done. Thelen and Salkowski have played a huge roll in this teams success this year and should be mentioned in Player of the Year conversations
Out of curiosity I took a look on PrepVolleyball.com. And going back to 2003, it looks like their highest previous ranking was 17th, last year. 14 is pretty good for a "rebuilding" team that wasn't in the top 100 to start the year. Go Pandas!
a "down" Assumption team?
They finished 6th in the nation last year, knocked off #1 Mercy twice, and their setter was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. I hope and pray my team has this kind of down year.
