What They Said

Graduate Emily Londot:
- "I think our communication could have been better, talking about what the other side was doing and talking about what we needed to do during the play, talking about what's happening. I think that could have been elevated a little bit and we talked about it and are going to work on making those changes."
Freshman Emmi Sellman:
- "I think we were serving aggressive. That's something we've been working on in practice a lot so I'm proud to see that translate onto the court."
