They said it – Head Coach Peggy Martin
On the Florida Tech match
"Really competed well, just couldn't finish…fought back from big deficit in all three sets.
Came down here to get better and being challenged to do so!"
 
On the Rollins match
"Had some good performances from a variety of players both offensively and defensively.  Mikayla Boyer was awesome serving, passing and digging. Emily Weinzapfel and Brooke Borgmeyer carried the load on the outside. Huge for us as a team that we learned to finish."
