With their recent win, Milford has been able to earn themselves the credit of improving their overall season wins to the amount of 14. They have been able to achieve this commendable number of victories after having suffered no loss at all. The performance
statistics of Milford also show an equally impressive record. In league play, Milford has been able to grab a total number of eight wins. They have accomplished this at the cost of undergoing no loss at all in the MWL.

with.

contribute by making kills, he also supported his team by performing eight blocks.
Next in line for Milford is another league match that will be calling for the same zeal and determination shown in their last game. Milford is scheduled to play the match on Tuesday.
“It was not one of our cleanest matches, but we came from behind in game one and that was a big game for us,” said Milford coach Linda Zacchilli. “We made it more difficult than it should have been. We would have a lead and then we'd let up. We made some
adjustments; kept them playing defense and then we did pretty well.”
