Quick, disciplined and systematic.

Those are the three words that St. John’s University volleyball coach Joanne Persico used to describe Zhejiang’s play style following their exhibition match on Sept. 27 at Carnesecca Arena.

It was their first exhibition match against a Chinese professional team thus far this season.

“It was terrific for our players to understand that [Zhejiang] play a very quick game, they play a very disciplined game, and they play a very systematic game,” said Persico, who expressed her appreciation towards the Chinese professional team following the match.
