Coach Morgan Spitler praised the team's energy and mindset during the game. "The energy and positivity in our environment right now is incredible — it’s electric," she said. "When we show up with that kind of mindset, we’re truly unstoppable. That said, we need to learn how to finish in three sets before it comes back to bite us."

The victory improved Danville's record to 2-4 for the season. Spitler emphasized that each win must be earned. "Winning is never easy, no matter who you’re up against. A win is a win, and I couldn’t be prouder of the fight, unity, and heart these girls showed from start to finish," she said.
The team will face Crestview on Saturday, August 30, aiming to build on their momentum and continue improving as the season progresses.
