Quotable
"I think for us this week it's just focusing on the process and making sure we are taking care of the things we need to do in the gym every day and then when it is match time we can just play," UNC Asheville volleyball head coach Frederico Santos said. "They will be two tough matches. Everybody is tough at home. It's still early in the season for all of us and for all of us that are still fighting in the league there is still a lot to be fought for because nobody has gained control of anything at this point. I know we look forward to these matches as a team and hopefully we can get a couple of positive results."
