Quotables

"We kept getting better throughout the day. Oregon played really well today and we were battling for every single point. We made adjustments when we needed to and pulled out at the end of some close matches. We have a mentality that we're not going to lose at home. We have a lot of experience on this team and that showed today." – head coach Allison Voigt

"We had a lot of people here on the courts cheering us on. It's nice to play in front of your own crowd. Our fans were great and provided us with a lot of energy and our team plays off that. That's really important for us." - Voigt
