Quotable:
Marshall coach Sang Lee: “We stayed relevant in the playoff race with this win. It was important for us to finish this long week well. This team never stops competing, and we’re learning to play more of a controlled game. We’re limiting our own mistakes and our serving was accurate today. The girls deserve tons of credit for continuing to believe in themselves and each other.”
Marshall senior libero North Steinbacher: “Our serving and passing was more improved from the previous game. It was a great accomplishment because we played well and acted more like a team. Our goal is to continue the kind of performance we had today. We want to emphasize more of a team dynamic. We do want to win because we are competitive, and we want to show off our ability and how we work as a team.”
