Quotables
"Ava and Addison played great throughout the whole weekend. They kept getting better and better after every match. I am very proud of how they were mindful and taking in the whole experience. Both of them never took it for granted and it showed in how well they played." – head coach Allison Voigt
"It was an amazing tournament and experience for both of our pairs this weekend. Both pairs grew and learned a lot while battling some of the best teams in the nation. I am excited to see how much this experience will help them in the spring." –Voigt on the team's performance at the AVCA National Pairs Championship
"There was just so much parity in the divisions. All of the schools at the tournament are going to probably be 12 to 20 in the rankings. Everybody was kind of knocking off everybody. For that reason, this was by far the most productive tournament we've played in all fall. There were no cakewalk games. There were no real blowout games. Everybody was in the battles. It was just a different dynamic this weekend." – assistant coach Alex Venardos on the team's performance at the Lopes Invitational
"The fall season was great for our whole team. Everyone got better throughout and were great learners throughout our training process. A goal we had for our team was to be more intentional and disciplined by the end of the fall and I believe we are getting closer to what we want to be as a program. I can't wait to see how this fall will help us for our spring season." – Voigt
What's Next
The two concurrent tournaments mark the end of the fall season. An official spring schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
