Thoughts from Coach Briscoe:

"Our athletes came out to play tonight. We had a really steady effort on the floor throughout the match. Our servers tipped the scales though. They put a lot of pressure on their passers throughout the match which kept them out of system for most of the evening. This was a great conference win for us because it was a team win. Looking to finish the week strong and build on this."
