Ohio State head coach Jim Stone
“We played fairly consistently in every aspect of the game. All the hitters were taking really good swings at the ball and being aggressive and not making any unforced errors. We were forcing Robert Morris to make good plays to score points. Our team did a great job of controlling the tempo, controlling how the game was being played.”
“Any team at Ohio State, regardless of sport, when you play an instate team or a team like Robert Morris that has a lot of Ohio kids, they’re going to play at a high level and the best that they can. So we expected that before the match started.”
“It’s nice when everybody is involved. I think that is one of the strengths of our team, is that we have good balance. We don’t depend on just one person to win a match for us.”
“I think they did fine. I didn’t perceive that they were intimidated. I thought they passed well. Their setter gave them a chance to swing the ball. Their hitters probably hadn’t faced as tall as block during the course of their schedule as they did tonight, so they had a little bit of trouble with the block, but they did a pretty good job.”
Anne Botica
“Going into the tournament we were all pretty excited. We didn’t really didn’t know too much about Robert Morris, so we just wanted to go out there and do the fundamentals. We pretty much took control of the match from the beginning. We just wanted to focus on our side.”
Stacey Gordon
“Going into our match tomorrow, we have to execute. We have to take control of the match from the beginning. Robert Morris head coach Tim Horsmon
“We played a couple of other teams that would be considered bigger, but nothing in that caliber. We’ve played big teams, but their not athletic and big (like OSU).”
Katie Noble
“Last year we played Minnesota and the year before we played Penn State. I think Ohio State was up there in that caliber. (OSU) was technically better than the other two teams. The other teams might have been bigger, but Ohio State was more athletic.”
