Head Coaches Quotes
Kim Hall, NC State
"Our team just had so much fight tonight. Their heart was a sign we're
growing up as a team. Our serving was the key, and it kept Maryland on
their heels all night. Charece Williams and Tara Greene were huge for us
tonight, and Erin Vesey really kept up our intensity level."
Janice Kruger, Maryland
"I'd have to say that's (Game 2) the highest-scoring game I've ever been
in involved in. I was proud of how our team fought. We had many
opportunities, especially in game two, which could have created a different
situation in this match. Hats off to NC State for staying competitive,
consistent anad strong until the end."
