Head Coach Lisa Rhodes
On picking up the victory:
"It is nice to win and sweep an opponent that is as good as Wofford, who is having a good season. It was great to see us take care of business and not push it, so that we can be ready for Furman tomorrow."

On extending the home winning streak:
"It is nice to know that we can take care of business at home.

"Bailee did a great job at distributing the offensive pretty evenly and going to the hitter when they are hot. I think that she did a nice job of running the offense today."

On the play of Heather Parman:
"She had been working hard in practice on different shots and trying different swings. I think that it has really paid off and she has done a really good job of providing a bigger block."

On how the offensive flow changed through the match:
"I think the outsides kind of opened up things for the middle and once the middle got going later in the match. They gained confidence and became unstoppable. Wofford had a hard time stopping Ellie [Kuhn] and Courtney [Barnes]. We just had a really successful day with the middles."

On the defense:
"I still think that there is a lot that we can improve upon with our backrow defense today. We were out of position on a couple points, but found a way to get the ball up. It was not always right on target, but we did do a good job of chasing balls down and keeping them alive."

On the composure of the team in the first set:
"That was huge. It could have been a completely different match if Wofford took the first set. We were resilient and our confidence showed. Maybe now, we are starting to build our confidence up and put it into action."

Junior Middle Blocker Ellie Kuhn
On the home court advantage:
"The entire team enjoys playing at home, especially infront of our home crowd. I think we have put on a great show in the last three matches and came out and won three straight sets today. That says a lot about a team and the confidence that they are bringing into a match. We will look to carry that into tomorrow's match."

On the offense going through the middle:
"The offense was really working for us. Courtney [Barnes] and I were getting points today and that is what worked. We could not have done it without the help of strong play from our outsides and right sides, which made their middles have to guess."

On the outsides opening up the middle attack:
"Heather and Meagan did a great job on the outside. They both had great swings, so the middle had to just keep guessing and that really helped open it up for Courtney and me."

On the blocking game picking up as the match progressed:
"I think it got easier to read their tendencies and who their bigger players were. I think we did a good job on picking up stuff that they did repetitively."

On the resiliency in the first set:
"It is hard to go through long rallies and lose a point. It definitely does kill your momentum, but I think that we did a good job on working on the positives and focusing on the negatives."
