If we can come in and play solid volleyball, we'll shut them down early and shut them up early.

We wanted to make sure we proved a point to whoever we were going to be playing on Saturday night. And let them know that we know how to play and we're playing at a pretty good level right now, contrary to what people think or have been saying about us this year.

We still got the 'W' and it feels good. And not that we wanted it, but [losing Games 3 and 4] put a little pressure on us. Going into that fifth game it was do or die, so I think we handled it well.

You only get better by playing with better people. That's why in this practice gym we have to get better and make our biggest strides and when we are in the games make sure we take care of business.

We have a lot of momentum going after this weekend. If we can just keep that going and keep our intensity high, we should be all right.

We'll be pumped to go out there and play some better teams. If we can come out and play strong against Irvine and USC, I think it will be a good measuring stick and show us where we can go.

We've finally got a monkey off our back we've been waiting for. That was the biggest win I could've used, I'll tell you that much.

They're a solid team and have played some good volleyball. Obviously Ball State got us earlier in the year, but if we come out with a win, I'll feel a lot better going into the playoffs.

Consistency. We've been pretty good limiting our errors and, if we do that, we'll have no problem.
