Quotables from head coach Chad Willis
"It was a disappointing result tonight. I thought we came out of the gate pretty sluggish but were able to slowly work ourselves back into the match. We did some really nice things to put ourselves into position in sets 2 and 3, but too many unforced errors ended up being the difference. We were able to play some different lineups to see where we are, and as we work the film, we'll continue to learn and figure out a way to clean up our side."

Next Up
The Eagles play host to Jacksonville Tuesday in Hanner Fieldhouse, and first serve is slated for 6 p.m.
