We lost a couple of people and just found out this morning that both Kaitlin (Lomas, 2^nd year, middle, Ponoka, AB) and Morgan (Kolasa, 2^nd year, middle, Calgary, AB) couldn’t play.  I spent the morning throwing together lineups without a middle blocker.   I thought the girls after they found out what their jobs were, they moved in and played the game.” [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="333"] Morgan Kolasa (Andrew Snucins photo)[/caption]   Lomas and Kolasa both suffered injuries. Its not known when they will return.

She showed a lot of grit for starting her first match of the year. Same as Kat (Katarina Legutky, 3^rd year, outside hitter, Calgary, AB).  She had come in but never started.  They both did a great job.” [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="333"] Katarina Legutky (Andrew Snucins photo)[/caption]   Legutky had seven kills in 22 chances with two assists, three service aces and a block assist.

We need to focus two nights in a row and getting the job done two nights in a row.  We have been over it a bit with the girls this week.  That will be the next step for our team. I expect us to come out with more tenacity.”
