Coach Burgess' Thoughts
- "It was a very hard fought match. We got ourselves in a hole early, but we played well to ge back into each set. The crowd really helped us today, they gave us a lot of energy, but we need to keep our focus that we don't get too emotional especially in a match like today's. I feel we played well...a lot of great defense. We need to tighten a few things up, but I'm happy where the team is at after our first two conference games."
