“Although on paper we are young, we are not inexperienced. Last season we went to the NCAA Regional Championship starting three freshman. They learned a great deal from that experience, and I expect it will carry over this fall.”
“We could put ourselves at a real disadvantage if we lose both of those matches, but we could also put ourselves in a good spot if we win both. I won't shy away from the fact that both of these (matches) are big for us.”
“They're returning a lot of players who have played a lot or started for them (last year). They're a decent team, but they're also a team that I think we match up well with, and we should have the opportunity to do well against them.”
