Coach Burgess' Thoughts:
"It's always hard when the season ends, but I'm so incredibly proud of how the team played tonight! We've had some key injuries down the stretch, but everyone rallied together for a great team effort. I'm so grateful for the five seniors – they're the reason we've gotten back into the tournament the past few years. More importantly, they've been great teammates and leaders for our underclassmen. We will miss them, but they've laid the groundwork for our program that will continue to rise."

How it Happened

- After a back-and-forth open to set four, PC found themselves on top 8-5 as Winthrop took a timeout. However, the Eagles were able to climb back into the lead, 16-13, as it was Presbyterian's turn to take a timeout.
