Hear From Coach Kreklow
On the Tigers' 2017 freshmen class…
"Leketor can really get up and she has a cannon for an arm. Tonight she showed what she's capable of doing. Dariana is a really smooth and talented player. As the night went on, I thought she did better and better. Andrea has made a lot of progress in just one week at setter. I was really pleased with all three of them tonight and I think they'll all be great players for us."

Munlyn on her performance tonight…
"I think I did well. It's a little hard to tell with shortened sets and matches like tonight. I just wanted to stay focused on my attack and do my job."
