Press Conference: Jamie Morrison

I'm really, really happy with the path our team's on. And I think some of the things that I was probably sitting in this chair frustrated with, we've addressed, fixed and we're playing really good volleyball right now...I'm encouraging people to get out here on Friday, I think it'll be a really fun match (and a) really good volleyball team that we're going up against. So we need support.

-- Jamie Morrison

Press Conference: Margot Manning, Kyndal Stowers

I feel like the whole time I've been here I've just been putting in work and waiting for my time. I got that this weekend and it was really exciting. But also we're a group of setters, and we all work together no matter what. No matter who's on the court. So it was really nice to feel the support from the people around me and just go out and do what I've been trying to do for the last three years.
