REACTION FROM HEAD COACH BRIAN SMITH
On winning the third set: "We needed to find a way to generate more offense from other players since some of our starters were struggling. If nothing else, it was a change of energy and players looking to contribute."
 
REACTION FROM CAPTAIN KYLE AIRESMAN
"We knew the spots we needed to touch on and we tried to get our ball control there, but tonight that was just one of our mismatches. It (the season) has been a great roller coaster ride here… each week we study our teams, and we try our hardest, so it'll be great to see our outcome in the end."
 
UP NEXT
