WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS

"We played extremely well, and Montevallo had a lot of players offensively that are consistent, and we were able to manage that part of the game well," head volleyball coach Flavia Siqueira said. "We poorly executed some of the skills that were in our control, especially serving. We had errors in crucial moments and that impacted the game."
