"I am so proud of these girls," stated head coach Carry Brown. "Since it was our first match of the season, we didn't have our lineup nailed down so we changed it a bit from set to set until we found what worked. They never gave up, even after being down 2-0. One if the things I like best about this group is that they celebrate each point as if it were the last. There is something special about this group."
