Danes Down Mitchell in Three

Offensively, the Danes struggled with a high number of errors on attacks and several missed serves.

Nikolaus Schaefer '14 had an amazing four-point serving streak in the second game, one of them scoring as an ace! Chu had a high five aces, three of them in a row, followed by Jimenez with four, and Cha with two. 

Though energy and flow lacked in the second game, the Danes came out ready to be aggressive and have fun in the third game, and it showed with a score of 15-9!
