Quotables from coach Dustin Wood
"Rough weekend for us and especially a rough night. We struggled again offensively, but passed well enough to win. Our setters struggled running our offense tonight. It's tough to win on the road, but we have proven that we can do it. This is the ultimate team game. You can't isolate in this game and you need to rely on each position to execute. We are looking forward to getting home and being in Hanner. We must come out with more grit and determination this week."
