Coach's Quotes – Joe Chojnacki
- "Not the start we were hoping for this year."
- "I feel like we are playing well defensively but other parts of our game are still not in sync. We are struggling on offense and our serve receive is inconsistent."
- "We juggled some lineups around today and got more people playing time. Jayden Easingwood ripping off four aces against Delaware St was nice and Andrea Lombeyda picking up 14 digs against Georgetown was great."
