“It’s super frustrating because I don’t think we played our best volleyball. Still proud of how we fought. That’s the way
sports is. Some days you have your best game. Other days you have to work with what you have …To be on the biggest stage and not play your best is hard. I’m still proud of the way we
carried ourselves.”
HITTING HIGH: Lauren Fendrick did not get the Olympic outcome she wanted on the court, but she kept swinging until the end. (Photo: FIVB)
