TOP QUOTE
"I was a little disappointed with our serve and pass. That's something that's key to every level of success, and we got a little loose on that. We've got to be cleaner in that area. Overall, we've got a lot of weapons. I was very pleased with Hannah Lockin and Yossiana Pressley tonight. Katie Staiger was consistent. This is probably the first in the week and a half of double days that some girls are starting to separate themselves. It gives us something to work on and start zeroing on the starting lineup for Rice." -head coach Ryan McGuyre

WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears head to Houston to face Rice in their final exhibition match Thursday at 5 p.m.
