The Eagles won 2 out of the 3 sets against David Douglas in the last game of their season, showing they kept up the effort despite the losses.
“It was probably the best game of our season (David Douglas). I wish we had gotten to this level in the beginning of the season,” said Olson.

Cristina Rodriguez

Erika Zuel
301 assists; 28 aces; 94.7% serving percentage

37 kills; 51 digs; 90.7% serving percentage
“She came back mid-way season (from a lower leg injury), but she was still a great and big part of the team,” said Olson.
