QUOTES
Head Coach Amy Hendrichovsky
- On the win:
"We had a balanced offense. Our attack numbers were all very even, and we were able to just distribute the ball evenly. I also thought we had some great plays defensively. Our middle backs did a really good job playing defense tonight, which we didn't do the first time we played them (Georgia State). I thought they responded well and defended better in the middle back position with Kristina (Alabastro) and Arissa (Chappell), and that made a difference in our dig quality."

- On being unbeaten at the halfway mark of the conference schedule:
"We start the second half of our conference season this week. I thought we did a very good job throughout the first half of the conference season, and we're excited to be able to see some different teams in the upcoming weeks."
