"Overall it was a very good weekend! We played some really good volleyball. Liv Carel was big at the net for us all weekend. She led us in kills for both our first two matches. Molly Skoda and Kaitie Rohe did a great job all weekend. We played 15 sets of volleyball this weekend! We played 12th-ranked Wisconsin-Stevens Point to five sets at their place. We had 1/2 hour then completed against St. Olaf. It is hard to make that physical and emotional turnaround. We gutted it out and got the win. The Firebirds will sleep good tonight!"
