Gallaudet Head Coach Lynn Ray Boren said the team is really playing together better as a team and supporting each other.  "We had a lot of momentum today. It really boosted the team and increased their confidence. The ladies had a lot of fun tonight."  A big part of the success the Bison had tonight was due to their positive reaction to losing the first set against McDaniel.  Coach Boren said, "We changed our game plan after the first set and I was really proud of how the players executed after we changed our game plan. "
