CHICAGO COMMENTS
- "Really proud of our team for battling and beating a really good team on their home court. Despite the 17 missed serves they stayed composed and really embodied that next ball mentality. Our setters did a great job evenly distributing our offense, all six of our attackers had six or more kills. Now we turn our attention to three more great teams this weekend where we will be pushed and tested!" – Head coach Mitchell McPartland
