QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH MARY DEJUTE
"Our win against Midwestern State shows what this team is capable of when our offense is firing. Our defense has been solid all season, and it was again today. Unfortunately, unforced errors make it very difficult to win a five-set match. That will certainly be a focus as we get ready for Heartland Conference play."
