“It was just me and the coaching staff and management. We always have conversations every day to update on how I feel. I did have a minor procedure done the day after we played Cignal. It’s just something super small. I just had a little cleanup for my knee. But I feel a lot better now. In the beginning, I was a little bothered by it. But I feel really great now,” said Van Sickle.

“I’m happy with my teammates. I’m happy with their performance. I’m happy everyone got to play. It was a good match.”

“I’m super proud of everyone. I’m pretty sure almost the whole team played.. And everyone brought great energy. It didn’t matter who was on the court. Yeah, we did start a little rough, but we did come off break. Not that it’s an excuse. But Chery is a good team. I feel like we go with them all the time, five sets,” she said. “We were able to figure it out, go through the rough patches, and work on it. So, I feel like we got better today as a team. So, I’m really happy.”

The Filipino-American spiker credited their hard-fought win to her teammates, who showed resilience to fight back from a two-set deficit.

“Everyone came in crunch times and were able to stay calm and steady.Being down two sets, especially winning that third set when it was super close, that’s huge.  said Van Sickle.

“At first, we kind of got a little quiet, but Rem (Palma) did step up. She gathered us and said, hey, we need to pick up energy. I think that’s a huge part of volleyball. It’s not just skill, but I think mentality and energy also.”
