More from Moore: "This was a good weekend for our kids. We faced some good competition and overcame some tough situations. Last night's five set match with OLLU took a lot out of our kids. Getting back to the hotel at 11:00 pm and having our supper delivered at 11:30 pm made for a short night of sleep. Then today we had to play an early match. That kind of stuff gives you a big mental test. But, our kids passed the test. 8-0 is a great start to the season," SAGU Head Volleyball Coach Hank Moore said.
"I'm very proud of how our kids overcame obstacles and kept fighting. We have a great group of girls that represent SAGU with great class. I'm one proud coach," Moore went on to say.
