The Panthers' head volleyball coach Bob Siemer couldn't have been more pleased with his girls' performance.
"We played well all day," Siemer said. "Brussels had beaten us earlier in the year in the Roxana tournament, so it was nice to even things up with them. Triopia won the first set and were up 8-0 in the second when Samantha Ayres served six in a row to get us back in it and go on and win. Carrollton is another team we had lost to earlier in the season, so to beat them in the championship match was great. They work hard and are great to be around."
