Coach Zelenock on the Win
"We are happy to get a good result against a very athletic team as we head into the SoCon Tournament. The third set for us was disappointing but the team is aware that we can't do that in tournament play. I'm happy with the way everyone stepped up even if it didn't't show up on the stat sheet."
