Coach Thoughts
Kim Berrington, SHU: After a slow start, we showed some grit by working hard and coming back to win that first set. Our middles gave us a spark when they started blocking. Then we shored up the defense and created more attacking opportunities. It was nice to get contributions from so many players.

Coach Thoughts
Drew Crawford, SHU: Great effort again today. We put two halves together. I thought we outplayed them in long stretches. They certainly made it interesting in the end there with their pressure as they tried to get back into the game in the final five to eight minutes. I thought we did well to hold them off and overall a great win against a very tough opponent.
