They played great defense, they really dug a lot of balls.

She had a great match. She really loves to play and is fun to play with.

It's great to have Annie back. It's wonderful, but the biggest thing is with her out, we got to see some people step up.

We competed tonight almost to the end. That's a strong team we played over there -- hopefully we walk away and we learned something.

Unfortunately, we did the roller coaster thing. Michigan State did a nice job. They ran a nice offense at us, and we didn't seem to have the blocks tonight like we usually do.

We didn't just win it, we played well. It gave us a lot of confidence going into this weekend, which is something we needed.

We were more consistent. We fought throughout the entire time. The most important thing was that everybody stepped up at different times.

It's huge for us to get some confidence. Now we know we can play, compete and win in the Big Ten. That's huge for us.
