Kristy Dwyer Quotations

I was shocked at first when I found out about it, because of my age. I haven't been in the profession as long.

Our offense really came alive in the fifth game. We had some excellent serving and (Hilmar wasn't) able to attack anymore and gave us some free balls.

We had a lot of unforced errors in the second game. But we picked it right back up in the third game and were in control the whole time.

We had a lot of long rallies. They were digging up a lot of our balls.

We played pretty error-free volleyball in league. Our serve-receive percentage was in the 90's, and that's huge because mistakes on serve-receive are what give other teams momentum.

We played well in the first three games. In the last two games we committed tons of unforced errors. We got stuck and never really got out of it.

We're undefeated with the toughest teams behind us. We're confident about finishing on top of league.

This was the best group I've ever worked with in attitude, talent and drive. It was a very easy team to coach.

We weren't in trouble at all the whole match. We only had one serve-receive error and not many hitting errors. We didn't struggle anywhere.

We cut down on errors, especially in serve-receive. We played more solidly than we have in the past. I was pleased to open league with a victory.

Argonaut played decent defense. In the third game we got behind a couple times, but we were never down (emotionally) and panicked.

It was an easy opener. Overall, I'm pleased with the performance. Our serving (57-for-61) was a little off but I can't complain.

They don't have as many skilled players as in the past. They don't have much of an offense and they don't have as many powerful hitters. Their defense is OK.

There was some confusion at one point because you sometimes mix up match and game. I told them we couldn't lose a game or we'd lose our No. 1 power rating. I meant to say match and I said game. They were all freaked out and I just started laughing.

It just says something about the quality of the programs we have here. All these programs have coaches that are really dedicated. I think, overall, with a few exceptions on the bench, we exemplify proper behavior and we want our students to act that way.

It was a heck of an accomplishment. They were dead set on not losing a game.

It was a good match. For the most part, we held our own, especially considering the size difference.

It took a while to get into the groove. We had some jitters in the first game, but we got rid of those and it was exciting to beat Linden.

I'm excited that Ben is our new coach. He's a good guy and a good coach. He has a lot of knowledge and he really teaches the players a lot of skills. And he's already putting a big effort into it.

By the time league started, I knew we had a pretty darn good chance of being league champs.

Hughson was a pretty good defensive team. They kept a lot of balls in play and we made some unforced errors. They had us running a lot.

I figure this team can be the league champions again. Being that everybody (at the lower levels) did well, we certainly ought to be able to win.
