Thoughts from Coach Briscoe
"Tonight's win was important for us to get back on track and regain some confidence after some tough losses against some great conference opponents. We did a great job from the service line keeping constant pressure on them. Our setters did a good job spreading the ball around whereby pins had a successful night. Vanguard is going to be a big offensive team tomorrow so we are going to get our rest and come ready to battle!"
