“I think it (the tournament) went great,” Barry head coach Frederico Santos said after the final match. “I think any time you compete, it’s a measuring stick of where you are in practice and how things are improving. We came here. We played. We saw the things we need to work onto make our season successful.”
The Bucs travel to the Chatham Orthopedics Pirate Volleyball Classic at Armstrong Atlantic next Friday and Saturday before returning home to the Heal & Sports Center on Sept. 15 to host Nova Southeastern at 7:00 pm.
