Hear From Head Coach Wayne Kreklow
On opening the weekend with a victory…
"Obviously we're happy to come away with the win. We knew coming in that LSU was one of those teams in the SEC that its record was a bit deceiving. They have good players, but having trouble putting it altogether for extended periods. At times they do a lot of things really well. My big fear tonight was we were coming off a big win against Florida, we're here for our first home Mizzou Football game and just a lot of stuff going on other than our match. I felt like we came out flat in the first two sets. Fortunately, we got back together at the end."
