Head coach Michael Woodson
On the team bouncing back…
"We've done a good job of progressing over the matches. Several of them didn't go our way, but the team is growing stronger. I thought they did a really good job of respecting the opponents they played today, playing really hard from start to finish, and they were able to win some lopsided sets. I was really pleased with that."
