Coaches and Players Weigh In

“We wanted to use this game as momentum to get us ready for conference play, which starts tomorrow against Southwest,” said North Lenoir coach Heather Carson. “I thought we were very aggressive at the net. When our passes are there, our sets are there, we can put it away. When all that clicks, it can look really nice out there.”

Hatcher echoed her coach’s sentiments, saying, “Coach was giving me spots, and that’s what I was working on. I think I executed it pretty well, and my team helped me a lot with that. I felt pretty good.”

Up Next

North Lenoir will look to carry this momentum into their conference opener as they host Southwest Onslow tomorrow at home.
