“Our team has been working hard in the gym on the areas that we needed to improve on from our training day vs. Carson-Newman, and our matches on Saturday will be a huge test to see where we have grown. I am eager to see how we respond in those areas, and in our overall confidence and competitiveness in facing 3 very talented SEC teams in Tennessee, Georgia, and Ole Miss. It will be a day full of great volleyball, an awesome event for all volleyball enthusiasts, and we hope to see many fans in Maclellan”
