Head coach Jerritt Elliott
On today's game: It was a great environment for our team to play in. We really took control over the first two games and didn't play as well coming out of the break. We really didn't respond until late in game four. I thought Juliann (Faucette) carried the team on her back, said let's go and end this match in four. We had some big time swings from her in a heated rival battle that was fun to be a part of. I'm pleased with how good we were in the crunch when it really mattered. We continue to be good at those times and have a different focus level when the match is on the line.
On Juliann Faucette's performance today: I could feel it today just looking at her in terms of knowing that she was ready to play today. She had a different look in her eyes, she was really focused, and really loud in the locker room before the game. I could tell there was a different energy and focus about her. She pretty much carried the team tonight. When she is playing that hot, it's really nice to have that on your side.
Senior outside hitter Juliann Faucette
On her last four kills during the fourth set: I was just motivated and (Michelle) Kocher was setting a great ball. I think I was just feeling the fire and it was easy to get a good kill with those sets from Kocher.
On her career high 28 kills: It was a great week of practice. With a lot of the injuries that we have going on I had to take a lot more of a load and I think that it's been good for me. Today was the outcome.
Junior middle blocker Rachael Adams
On today's environment: I am really pleased with the crowd tonight. They get in the game during the crunch time with us. We had to play great towards the end and they upped their voices and got excited and push us along. We can feel them talking to us.
