Spectrum: Were you nervous at all before the game? Why or why not?
KY: This game, specifically, I wasn’t very nervous since we’ve seen this opponent before in past years, and I was just excited that everyone would get a chance to play.
MS: I feel the same way because now that we have a fuller roster, I think it’s a lot of fun being with more girls and just all being able to enjoy the sport.
Spectrum: As you were getting ready to serve, what were the thoughts going through your head?
MS: “Just make it over.” I think that’s the goal in any scenario. Going in towards the end of the game, you’re kind of cold, everything kind of just feels off. So it’s just important to stick to the basics.
KY: When I serve, I like to say affirmations to myself that make me feel more confident at the back line.
Spectrum: Did you reach one of your athletic goals during this game?
MS: Just being on the court with all my friends and having fun [is] just an overarching goal, like, forever, and I think we all completed that.
KY: One of our big goals was to get far in conference this year, and I think we did that. We had some ups and downs, but we’re still proud of how we played.
