Quotables
"We came out with great energy and played really well early in the match," head coach Shawn Garus said. "We served great, passed well and the setters were running a great offense for a high percentage. It was really a team-effort early on. But, I loved the third set. I love that we got challenged, and we found a way. For a young team, that's a growing moment that I think will make us better as we move forward."
