Kings Volleyball Head Coach Aaron Schulha thought aspects of his team's game were good but would like to see stronger play at the net. "I thought that our serving and passing were decent and we beat them in both of those areas," he says. "But, our blocking was not nearly good enough. We had four blocks to their 11 and we allowed their two main attackers to get 16 and 14 kills respectively, hitting for 87% and 45% efficiency. We have to do a better job of getting quality touches on those two."

For the Clippers, Bryton Codd picked up 16 kills and Jordan Schnitzer recorded 14. 

In an afternoon match, the Kings (0 - 3) will compete against the Clippers (1 - 2) on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
