Quote
"We came out pretty sloppy in the first set, and in this conference, you can't get away with that. These teams are so strong and you have to bring your 'A' game every night. I felt we brought a little more fight and were more focused after that. We started to do some things well in the last two sets. Our defense was strong tonight and we received some contributions off the bench. We did a lot of good things tonight, but in that conference, that's not always enough." –Nichols head coach John Post
