KEY QUOTES
Head Coach Tom Black
On today’s performance…
“That was a great response, especially after Friday. We had another tough match here today. We showed good resilience after the first set. Obviously, we were able to run away with the second and third sets, but I thought Auburn really composed themselves and battled in the fourth. So, I’m really proud of how the girls stayed steady through that.”
 
On the team’s strength in serving today…
“It was our best serving game of the year by far. And that set us up with some opportunities to get some blocks. The blockers did a good job getting their hands across and getting good touches.”
 
Estelle Haugen, Sr., OH
On today’s performance…
“We had to bounce back from Friday, so we knew this was a big game. We focused on our serving and our blocking; those are big parts of what we pride ourselves on. So, those were just two really big things for this game.”
