kills, and 3 aces; and Briercrest's #11 Karyim Coleman for his 5 digs, 14 kills, 1 assist, and 12
aces.

MHC's Stepanovic player of the game had this to say about this game and the team's goals to improve going forward: "Despite the external factors and getting used to the gym, we kept our energy pretty well, I'd say. Whether we win or lose the set. I'd say we could improve on bringing the set and bringing the energy."

11 Karyim Coleman had this to say about the game and the other teams energy: "I think the game went pretty well considering we were the drivers of the game for most of the match, they're riding that high right now, but we gotta try and keep our calm for the next game. They made a couple [really good] deep shots on us we weren't expecting but I look forward to improving our defence going forward."

Both teams are driven and looking forward to improving and keeping their heads in the game as
they head into their rematch in Medicine Hat this Saturday!
