We started out slow but came back and played well in the second and third game.

Serves haunted us. You give up 10 points to any team and that's not good. I have to give the kids credit. They stuck in there.

(Warren-Mott) kept us out of our game. They tipped the ball and hit over screens. They did a good job of keeping themselves in the game.

I don't like rally scoring. If you're going to play the tipping game, with rally scoring, you're going to stay even and keep the momentum on both sides. And that's what we were doing. We weren't playing our power volleyball.

This win shows progress. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, though. A lot of people picked us to finish last in the conference, so it would be nice to prove them wrong.

We haven't really talked about going to the tournament. We just want to keep playing. ... There is a hunger and air of confidence about this team.
