I look at the woman and she looks back at me and if she's interested she'll give a nod.

Jeremy is very conscious of the responsibilities of the setter position. He is looking forward to the opportunity of being in that role full-time.

Pacific really missed their libero.

I am hopeful that this team will be able to surprise some people this season.

Pacific played better in game three, I thought. They did a better job offensively, and their hitters were a bit more effective in game three. I felt like we got careless serving and gave up chances to score points. It seemed like whenever we served the ball in, we were effective. They weren't passing all that well. We just needed to get the ball in play.

I didn't think that was fair. He was the best thrower there. I think he would have taken first.

We definitely picked up the quality of our play in games two and three.

He's a great player, and they are trying to find a working combination without him. They still haven't found it yet. So we were fortunate in that regard.

Pulling out game one was key. In these matches, especially with teams that are kind of evenly matched as far as ranking and all that, that first game can be critical. Winning the first game helped us gain momentum.

UC Irvine is a great team and really showed it tonight. Their serving was particularly tough tonight and we had to battle tough to earn every point we won in the match.
