"The team really meshed today and played well for the most part. For the first and second matches they really stayed focused and worked well together and minimized the errors on our side of the court. Against Jefferson they struggled mentally and weren't able to get back in their groove. Overall, we were very pleased with the improvements from this past week and will continue to work on the mental aspect of the game," said Coach Olyer.
FM will host Hudson Valley on Tuesday, October 1st in what will be their final home match of the season. The action will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Raiders Den.
