Quotes from the Match
Head Coach Erik Peterson
“I think we went out and we really executed very well. That is what I continue to challenge the team to do is to go ahead and get out of their comfort zone and try some different things. Yesterday, we had some pretty good challenges with the wind and I think we took advantage of that and we played into the wind and really were able to score points and get some of the teams uncomfortable. Today, we had pretty much ideal conditions so we set the tone from the service line and we did a really good job of getting out of our comfort zone. We took a look on serve receive and transitioned to the open spots and we went out and really executed putting the ball where the other team wasn’t. We were able to score and create some separation today.”
