Coach Margot Royer - "I'm proud of the way we kept up the intensity throughout the entire match tonight. Aida Cadres (Los Angeles, Calif.) (six kills and 10 digs) really stepped up tonight and had a big impact on the way the team played. Kasey Adinolfi (Branford, Conn.) has been playing solid defense lately and puts us in great position to execute on offense."
