Postgame Quotes

Head Coach Jerritt Elliott

Thoughts from the scrimmage: It's the first match and everyone's playing next to each other trying to get the nerves out. We're only about a week and a half into practice. We've got a lot of things we still have to work on throughout the season. We'll go back and watch it and learn how we did and go get ready for Florida.

Junior Middle Blocker Morgan Johnson

On the team's chemistry: It's been going really well. Usually you get to October and things start coming together and it started coming together really early for us. Everyone loves each other and it's really like a sisterhood early on. It's really good for us to get past the chemistry and go straight into the volleyball aspect of it.

Senior Libero Cat McCoy

On Being Compared to the Golden State Warriors: Coach Elliott is trying to mirror us being like the Golden State Warriors in that it's all about the team. Kevin Durant went to go play for them because he wanted to win a championship. He didn't care about the individual awards or anything like that. So we're really focusing on playing for each other. It's not about anyone specifically, it's about the whole team.
