- Coach Curt Speerschneider: "This was a benchmark match to see where we stand against a top 10 team. We started a bit timid, but then did a good job of settling our games and competing at a high level to finish, taking a few into third sets. Great play by Maya and Konika winning their matches in third set breakers.  A lot of these matches came down to just minor details that they did better than us. Nonetheless, a good learning point and final tune going into the most important part of the season coming up the next few weeks".
