The ride to Thousand Oaks was not the only thing on the players mind. The team had a game plan in mind and executed their skills well according to Coach Walker. Although the Husky's were defeated in3 sets 20-25, 22-25, and 19-25 they were firing shots and playing defense as designed.

The ladies looked confident on the court, played a solid defense, and made adjustments that had the Regals on their heels. In the end, the Regals were able to come away with a win in the first set after a few missed ball calls, and shanked passes from several freshmen players.

Rallying back from being 3 points down 17-20, the Huskies showed poise and stuck to the game plan and transition attack. Similarly, in sets 2 and 3, the Huskies played smart and strong defense, defending their side of the court and executing strong and smart transition attacks.
