Quote from Head Coach Mallori Gibson-Rossi
"Our team is playing very consistent volleyball right now. It seems as though we are peaking at the right moment. Tonight, we showed a lot of resiliency under pressure. In those moments where the game was tight, we stepped up to make big plays. We had a slower start in the third set, but Yisel and Sierra made huge plays for us with their blocking and attacking. Macky and Jordon both had a big presence at the net and Krista took control of our defense."
UP Next
The Warriors conclude the regular season at No. 1 Cal State San Bernardino Saturday night at 7 p.m. Stan State would return to Coussoulis Arena next week for the CCAA Tournament.
