"Overall, that was a very good team-effort win. We were distributing the ball very evenly across the net, and all of our hitters were able to chip in. I think that when our offense has all of our weapons, we're pretty hard to stop, so that was really great to see and to end the weekend with." – head coach Sara Spielvogel on the win
