Coach Blee of Bermuda reported that her camp was very high spirits. “I think that we are happy for not only for the first victory but for the way we played. We had a very long talk after our last match and asked the players refocused on their individual roles and today we came out really fighting, playing well as a unit. We are now looking forward to the game with St. Kitts”, she concluded.

St. Maarten’s Coach Arrindell felt that it was their errors that handed Bermuda the game. “We made too many errors, the majority of those points that Bermuda got came from service errors and miscommunication on our behalf so we literally gifted them the game”, Arrindell surmised.
