Hear From Interim Head Coach Joshua Taylor

On Friday's dominant performance over Alabama…

"I was very pleased with our team's performance on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Andrea (Fuentes) once again led a balanced and efficient offense. To have four players with 10-plus kills in a three-set match is pretty impressive. Defensively, I felt like we were steady in the back row and forced a lot of errors from the Alabama attack. Our blocking efforts were solid as well and we simply caused a lot of fits for them."
