Many questions surrounded the Aggies last weekend after losing senior Jillian Phillips to a shin injury.
"I didn't know how the team would respond," Corbelli admitted. "But we've been training four or five different girls in the middle and the right."
The lineup changes and substitutions throughout the tournament by Corbelli fed the teamwork that led to the Aggies' victories.
Ammerman said she believes that there was also a change in mentality over the past week.
"After last weekend, we decided right after it ended that that wasn't us and that it was going to be different," she said. "So we started Monday in practice."
Although the Aggies won all their games this weekend, Corbelli still sees room for improvement.
"We're going to continue to work our blocking and continue to work our right side," Corbelli said. "We really need to attack the right side of the net a little bit more than we are. We need to get our middle more consistent. [Its] always a work in progress."
Texas A&M has a quick turnaround as they host Texas State at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The team's confidence and focus will no longer be in question this week.
"We know what we're capable of and now that we've shown it, we've got to keep it up," Batis said.
