They always play good volleyball and we have to really be prepared. I think we are the better team, I think we wanted it more, we stayed focused.

The entire atmosphere has changed. The guys are more open. If the guys have a problem, they can talk about it openly. Things are good.

This is what happens when we play Warrior volleyball. We were well-focused, well-prepared, and we played excellent.

That way when the opponent thinks I'm going to hit it hard, I can tip the ball. That gives you another weapon.

It's one of those things. You either have it or you don't. It went the wrong way.

I want to be a diplomat someday.

At the beginning, we were kind of careful, I'd say. If you try to be too careful, good things don't follow. You don't have confidence.

You're cold and hungry and you want to go home. I like snow, but ... I was thinking it would be nice to play volleyball where it was warm.

The whole team was amazing. The first night (a 3-2 loss), we didn't play our best. The second was very good, probably the best that a team I've played for has ever played.
