I hope I can come back to Akari,&quot; said Mitchem, who also had 12 receptions on the defensive side of things. &quot;I really had the best time here.

I kind of was just preparing to just like finish. And then all of a sudden, we were winning. I don&#x27;t even think we expected that. It was like a shock for even ourselves,&quot; she said. &quot;And then in the fifth set, I think we started to fight more. And want to actually show what we can do and win.&quot;Coach Tina Salak, for her part, said she was thankful for Mitchem&#x27;s contributions to the team.
