“I’m happy because we got the win, but there’s still a lot we need to work on, especially focusing on our weaknesses—most especially mine,” Rondina said. “I was nervous in the fifth set because my legs were starting to cramp up, but with the help of my teammates and our determination and eagerness to win, we pushed through.”
