Quotes

"We had all the physical skills to compete tonight, I think we just need to actually believe we can do it. It's all about getting our minds right, just truly honing into our skills, knowing that we've been working for the past two months on these things. We know how to do what we need to do tomorrow night, so we just need to remind ourselves of that." – Senior libero Paige Calvin.
"I think that nerves got to us. I think that we need to get a good night's rest tonight and rejuvenate as a team. I also think that we weren't our best for each other on the court and that's something that we have really been focusing on and we went away from that." – Senior outside hitter Hayley McCluskey
