REMARKS FROM HEAD COACH JEREMY PRICE

"The second set did not wear well … we have played some really close sets, and right now we just gotta learn how to finish them. It was really great to get Jack Brinkman back in the lineup with nine kills. Matthew Pilch put in eight kills … Stirling Sims also played well today and continued his hot streak.
