I'm very proud of our team. This isn't what we wanted but I saw our players develop both as volleyball players and as people throughout the season. This is a great group of guys.

They have three of the best players in the country. Those three guys are as good as anybody, and when they put it together, they can be great.

It was a great comeback. The biggest positive was that we showed we could win by committee. We were a team and we were helping each other. Everyone did what was needed to get the momentum on our side. Volleyball is a game of momentum and you need to do everything to turn the momentum in your favor.

It's crunch time near the end of school, so we gave the guys Friday off.

It seemed kinda like the time. I thought it was gonna be radical, one way or another. Either he was going to get roofed or he was going to be great.

It just seemed like the time to put him in. He made some big plays and his presence was definitely felt. The moment I heard the cheering, I knew this was going to be huge either way.

It's probably from over-use. It's going to be sore for a while. It's probably chronic.

It's been a while since we've played someone this good on the road at sea level. It will be a big test.

It's not how we wanted to end the season. We played a very good team that is excellent at their place. They did the things they needed to do to beat us, namely ball control. Congratulations to them. They are well coached.

They put it together at the right times. We missed serves at the wrong times and at crucial points they seemed to get better. They outplayed us mentally.
