Trevecca coach
Jayme Crowley was pleased with another road win, " This is a Big road win for us! Katelyn had an incredible performance and the team played gritty defense! We have climbed back with four wins in a row on the road!"
ÂÂ
"I really liked the way we played with grit again on the road it was a display of team chemistry and impressive TEAM effort.ÂÂ
ÂÂ
Crowley talked about the fight in the fifth set, "Ursuline fought hard at home and pushed us to a fifth set. We moved Katelyn to the outside because it was a shorter set and it proved to be a key move. Katelyn made it pay off, converting seven of our 12 kills in match-deciding set."
ÂÂ
"We have a short turn around and will face an always tough Cedarville, but I believe we'll come out ready to play tomorrow."
