Woodstra's Words: “Last  match we didn't play well,” Humboldt State head volleyball coach Sue Woodstra said. “Our focus for the next match is to go out and be ready to play. Sonoma State is an over-powering team, similar to UC San Diego. We need to go out and move around defensively and offensively and be aggressive.” …“This season the team has played better than it has since I've been here.  Lynsey (Adams) and Mallory (Briney), who came to the program five years ago, and Liz Shannon, who came four years ago, have helped us a ton to get this program to where it is now.”
