QUOTABLE

Head coach Michael Woodson

On the team bouncing back…

“We’ve done a good job of progressing over the matches. Several of them didn’t go our way, but the team is growing stronger. I thought they did a really good job of respecting the opponents they played today, playing really hard from start to finish, and they were able to win some lopsided sets. I was really pleased with that.”



WHAT’S NEXT

The Bears return to action on Sunday, March 5, at 1 p.m. in Waco for match No. 2 against Arizona State this season.
