This match was a microcosm of our first three matches. I'm disappointed that we come out here to this prestigious tournament and this fantastic facility and crowd and look that bad.
There were times tonight when we were passive, and that's disappointing. But I got chased out of the locker room after the second game and the guys took care of the rest. I like the way we played in the third and fourth games. Saint Francis is as good a team as they were in the mid-90s, they have a nice future.
The guys gotta understand that they have to be ready to play from the beginning of the match.
There's some responsibility on a setter for a team that isn't a great passing team. I wasn't pleased with the sets Danny was giving the hitters. We just didn't get good swings.
The offense is starting to click, and we're putting together better runs. We're starting to play good volleyball and our blocks and defense have improved.
I don't think their serving changed much. Jay just put balls on the money.
Game 2, I don't know what changed (but) we couldn't pass a ball. I have a grandmother, she's going to turn 100 on Feb. 9 and I know she could have passed those balls better than we did.
This was a great match against a well-coached team. But no one wins a national championship in February.
I told them to take a look around and hopefully in May we're in that same situation with maybe double the crowd. That's what's fun about it. This match with this crowd, you never want to lose the aggressiveness that brings you to that point.
