FAST FACTS

KEY QUOTES
Head Coach Tom Black
On the third set momentum…
"I think our serving and passing picked up, and we had a really nice point-scoring run there in the third set, so that was huge."

On who impressed him in this game…
"Digging got a lot better with AJ [Ana Julia Bleeker] and Rylan [Miller], who did a really good job there. Serving picked up a lot. Tori Harper was huge in blocking. And then Bianna [Muoneke] always carries such a big load offensively. So we had contributions from everyone, and then Gigi [Artiles] did a great job in the reds."

On the quick turnaround between matches…
"Really quick turnaround, but this is kind of the Friday-Sunday rhythm of the conference. So, you just have to learn the lessons quick and move on to Oklahoma, another good team."

Tori Harper | Graduate | MB
On success in SEC play...
"I think just trusting each other and pushing each other, no matter what, even when it comes to practice. We had this bye week, so really improving in practice and pushing yourself every single day, no matter if it's a game or off the court."

On preparing for the Oklahoma matchup...
"I think recovery and building the weaknesses that we had here, forcing those to get better and highlighting the things that we did great. Taking those dips that we had and start pushing them up higher for us."
