"I am proud of the effort the team showed all day, and for the most part our offense stayed aggressive. There are still some things to work out, but I believe we are getting closer and closer to breaking out and playing to our full potential," Fort Madison coach Kelly Knustrom said. "With some kids out sick over the weekend, we had some kids fill in roles and I am also really pleased with the play off the bench.
Olivia Buckner filled in a defensive specialist spot and gave us a really aggressive serve from the line. Molly Schulte and Addison Dean stepped in to serve in key positions and Reilynn Turnbull jumped right in to help the defense when we struggled a bit."
