Head Coach Kacie Ehinger - "We had a great offensive night, which I think was a product of us serving well and playing good defense. Gabrielle Spankus did a good job getting attackers one-on-one looks and we, as a whole, did a solid job exploiting what we wanted to from our scout. We're excited to have another tough SSC opponent in the Shark Tank tomorrow."
