Words from coach Jonathan Scott
On the match: "It was nice to get the win after losing three on a tough road trip. Just getting the win was the goal but we still have to improve our volleyball."
 
On the homestand: "This is an opportunity. It actually might come with a little more pressure actually with some of the younger players now playing in front of people they know more consistently. Those expectations are now higher, so I am excited to see how we handle it."
 
On playing again tomorrow: "Hopefully everyone is doing their job of eating and sleeping well."
