QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH KEYSER
"This was a great way to finish a very good regular season. It's never easy winning indoors against a quality opponent. This was probably our most complete match of the season. I'm very proud of the girls for a rock-solid regular season and how hard they compete. Had a couple of points fell our way recently, we could have had something spectacular, but hopefully, we understand how small the margins are and that we are not far away from being really good. I'm looking forward to getting back home to reset and get ready for an exciting conference tournament where anybody can win."
