QUOTABLE
"It's gonna be a challenge, there's no doubt. It'll be fatiguing for everyone. The next two matches are rivalry games against Middle Tennessee so you hope that gets their attention," said Head Coach Travis Hudson. It should be a good match up Tuesday-Wednesday, with most two of the elite attackers in this league. Kaylee and Adriana Rhoda. Rhoda is a tremendous player. Physical kid, who scores a lot for her team. It should be a good match up between two of the best hitters this league has to offer."
