Quotables from Coach Chad Willis
"I'm proud of the effort tonight. We thought as we settled into the match we continued to improve and execute with discipline on our side of the net. We controlled first contact and the block and defense set a tone, which created opportunities offensively for us to be efficient. One of the team's takeaways was how well we executed the game plan and took care of the little things – that's been a focus of ours this past week in practice, so we look forward to carrying that through tomorrow."
