"Our last game was important to restore the team's confidence. We played a great match. We were very focused, very disciplined, and executed our game plan very well. We need to continue doing that on Friday in such an important match. We'll have to play with focus, point by point. Anything can happen in this Superliga, and we know we have to control our mistakes and put pressure on their team from start to finish," said Canadian setter Brie.
