10.5 - Huskies Head out West. The Huskies lost to Weskan in our trip out west. They fought a tough-hitting Coyote squad and were able to come away with several lead changes and a great number of aces. But the Coyotes were the better passers helping set up their team with a great amount of hitting.

With just 1 more regular game before we enter the league tournament, we are going to be looking for that focus and fight.
