“I think we have to focus on more our side of the court. Regardless of who we play, I know that if we control the pace, if we play the way that we can, regardless who’s on the other side of the net, I feel like we’re going to give a hard time,” Davison said in a PVL news release Monday.
“So, you know, looking forward after this win, of course, it gives us momentum. But, you know, I like to think that we start from ground zero every time after a match. So, we’ll just see for the next one how we train and how we prepare,” she added.
