We didn't have two of our starters. I told my players at the beginning of the match this is an opportunity for some of them who don't play as much to make an impact, make a difference. I don't think we did that today.

The thing about volleyball is if you don't have others on the court, you can't win. We don't have the same offensive power we have had, but we have equal -- if not better -- defense and ball control. You can't throw a game like volleyball on the shoulders of one person.

With this loss, I still see us being a strong contender for the state title. I wasn't happy with the way we played tonight. ... I wasn't upset we didn't win tonight, it was how we lost.
