Supply, NC - The Lady Sea Devils faced a tough blocking Surry team on Saturday. "They are a huge blocking team. It seemed like they got touches on everything, which is what we expected, said Coach Emily Coleman. We worked a tremendous amount on our coverage this week in practice to prepare."
The Sea Devils got down 0-1 in the first set committing errors, but rallied back to take the next two with the help from Julie Kemp coming off the bench. Kemp finished the match with 11 kills. "Even though Julie has not seen has much action this season, she came off of the bench and gave the team a huge spark. I think it speaks to the overall depth of our team, and shows we are continuing to get better as a whole, said Coleman."
