Los Altos coach Jaime Ornelas: “(The final three) sets we figured out who we could serve to, and who we could go to. We modified our defense, and the girls picked up their service. Once we pickd up that momentum, we did a lot better and the girls picked up their game.”
Diamond Bar coach Hua Li: Both teams played really well. Los Altos did better than us. We need to find out by the next match what we need to do to play well in our home game (against Los Altos).”
Los Altos’ Jeannette Mojica: “Our biggest comeptitor this year is Diamond Bar. They’ve been our focus in practice. We’re very proud of ourselves that we were able to smash them.”
