Luetzen Schwartz feels good with how her team is playing coming into the WDA tournament. (PATTY LUETZEN SCHWARZ)"The last time we played Century I can say as a coach that was probably one of our better games, it was at home here. Things are starting to click for our girls and what I mean by click is at the beginning of the year you know you have these expectations of these kids. Whether it happens by the end of the season, or it happens next year, you hope it happens by the end of this season. I have a young group of hitters. We have five hitters and thats really good for a coach to have to be able to say she has five quality hitters. So were all coming together at the end. Even though the outcome of our last couple matches have been losses with the exception of Mandan. We've played well and we've picked up the speed in our game. So going into this WDA I feel really good about the way the girls are playing right now. Front row, setting, and then back row." (KATELYN LARSON)"I think everything is coming together here at the end, we've been practicing really hard this past week, and I think communication is going to be one of the biggest things." (ANNAKA SMITH)"I think that for our game against Century, were going to be able to play against them really well because when we played against them during season we played against them really well too. So if we keep that momentum up I think we'll do good against them."
