• "We are eager to get back on the court and feel like we have something to prove after dropping the past few matches. We are looking to play consistent volleyball throughout both of our matches this weekend and get out with two wins. It is always hard to beat a team twice so we know that UNCG will be out for redemption and we will have to step up to the challenge."
