“We lost the first (set) tonight,” Washington head coach Ashley DeAtley said. “My girls were determined they were not going to go down without a fight.
“I feel like they persevered through a lot,” DeAtley said. “They played a really tough match Monday night (a loss to Waverly). The girls are just hungry for wins and I’m proud of them.
“We prepared a lot for serve-receive, because that’s where McClain killed us last time,” DeAtley said. “(McClain) has some tough, smart servers. We knew we had to do our job of getting under the ball. Our libero (Maggi Wall) did a fantastic job of getting behind the ball, as did Aaralyne Estep.
“Our setters did a good job of mixing up the hitters,” DeAtley said. “They really stepped up tonight in order to put the ball where the hitters needed it to be successful.”
