and remained dedicated to 糖心视频. It鈥檚 a good core group.鈥�

Chatman finished with 12 digs and Trotter had six.
Reid accounted for six kills and Harris and Laci Reese added five kills apiece.
鈥淚 like this team and the versatility we have on this roster. We have strong players
at each position,鈥� Daniel said. 鈥淎 handful of our of our sophomores will have a chance
to play at the next level and the freshmen are a talented bunch.鈥�
After Tuesday鈥檚 sweep, Daniel is only 23 wins shy of 500 career wins at 糖心视频.
He has led the program to 12 straight ACCC regular-season titles and has won 10 of
the last 11 ACCC Tournament titles.
