Head Coach Tom Hilbert
(on winning a tight first set)
“That’s your typical deal where it’s your first weekend. We watched them play earlier, and Marquette disrupted them so much with jump serving that they weren’t able to do some things offensively, but they did do against us. They were much better than I thought they would be in terms of the fast stuff, and they got a lot by us.”
(on blocking, particularly on assistant coach Luke Murray’s impact)
“Kelsey (Snider) blocked pretty well and was in a critical position with No. 5 (Britton Taylor) coming at her.”
“Tonight they were in more system than they were this afternoon. That put more pressure on Luke on making those certain calls and options, and he did a nice job with it."
(on Sunday’s match vs. Marquette)
“I think that Marquette’s good. I think that the match tomorrow with be really difficult. They play sound in every area, and they are more athletic than both the teams we played today.”
(on the performance of the outside hitters)
“I thought our outside hitting, none of them hit very well but then they got better as the match went on.”
SR MB Kelsey Snider
(on the team out-blocking UCSB, 13.0-4.0)
“I think we are doing pretty well. Luke is making pretty good calls, which is helpful for us.”
“Scouting them, Tom said we had an athletic advantage so I knew if I just went fast and high that I would beat them.”
(on playing two matches in one day)
“It’s definitely a challenge, but I think it is good for us because it pushes us. I like it.”
SR S Deedra Foss
(on adapting to new hitters)
“I’ve been working with the new hitters the past couple of weeks so that’s no really an issue; it’s more of getting them involved in the game and getting them comfortable. I think all the new players have stepped up and done really well with all that."
(on CSU’s athletic advantage, particularly Kelsey Snider)
“We knew we had the athletic advantage over them, especially with Kelsey, so we took advantage of that and Kelsey did great."
