Overall, we played well. I was pleased with how we played today. I thought it was a well-rounded effort. Everyone played well.

All in all, I thought our effort was great. Obviously, we weren't favored to win the dual, but I think we fought people that we weren't supposed to beat. We just had a number of people come out and fight.

I thought we had a real good team effort today. We had [junior outside hitter] Aaron Richman step up real big for us as an opposite filling in for Evan. We had a lot of energy on court, which we didn't have yesterday. We also built good leads and were able to keep them.

They just owned us with their defense. They smothered us with their defensive pressure.

We knew their defense was going to cause us to play faster than we're used to. A lot of times that leads to poor execution and turnovers. We had a good week of practice preparing for this weekend and one of the things this weekend was being able to execute offensively at a higher pace, and we were able to do that.

After they beat us, I was pleased to see us play with more confidence.
