Thoughts from Coach B:
"Today we went 1-0 but whether its in victory or a loss, all the Honor and Glory goes to God! I want to give a shoutout to Coach Ben and SAU as I really respect how he runs his program. He has a good culture and his guys play together and are never out of the fight! We had control of the match after set 1 and they just absolutely took set 2 and the momentum from us. Coming back late in set 3 was big for us and a key to us being able to get a big conference win."
