Hall’s comment: “We have a good corps coming back with lots of experience. We’re going to surprise some people this season with this group. We have another Giller, and we’re moving her to outside hitter to get more kills. The chemistry is nothing like I’ve seen since I’ve been here. You can have all the talent in the world, but if your team doesn’t work together, it doesn’t mean a darn. We have a completely different aura. I can’t wait to see how this turns out this year.”
