After his team rallied to beat the Lady Mustangs, Richard Barker, the first-year coach, said, "The match shows we are still struggling to find some consistency.

"We started off with another dropped game against a school with better defense. Once again serve receive continues to plague us. It is better, but ...

"The girls demonstrated a bit of confidence by coming from behind after trailing by four points until about the 15th point when we begin to make a solid effort that culminated in a game win," said Barker. In the third game, the Trojans took a commanding lead (15-2) then let The Meadows slowly reduce the lead.

"The fourth game was mostly a given that we would eventually prevail," said Barker.
