Quotables from head coach Chad Willis
On Eagles playing their best volleyball heading into Sun Belt Tourney
"One of the things we just talked about in our huddle as a group is that we're not done. I challenged the team before the match to make a statement today. Make a statement going into the conference tournament that we can head into Foley with a ton of confidence and momentum on our side. It's all along with our theme the last day or so, which is to keep moving forward. Having that confidence coming off the two wins here and going to Foley, I like where we're at. I like the locker room and how we're pushing each other to get better every day, and so we seem to be peaking at the right time."
Next Up
The Eagles travel to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Foley, Alabama, Nov. 18-22.
