I don't see how they can give it to anyone else. I think the committee, based on the criteria, is obligated to give it us.

BYU is pretty impressed, that's for sure. They're bigger than we are, more athletic and more experienced. They've got some good servers, they're big at the net and Nielson runs a great offense. BYU is far and away the best team in American right now.

It's pretty exciting for the university and the community. We're expecting a great crowd and we expect a big BYU following to be there. Hopefully, our student body will answer the call, too.

I trust his opinion. It turned out well.

They're both great defensive players and I didn't know if Alfie being a senior would make a difference. Every once in a while a walk-on turns out to be a great one and we expect Brent to have a long and illustrious career with us.

Volleyball can be a pretty simple game. I think serving and passing is a huge part of it. Tonight, we served well and got them out of system more than they're obviously used to. They're a good passing team. I think they were a little off tonight.

We're not super flashy, but we're super steady. A lot of people think we play old-school volleyball. I'm proud of that.

I wish we had more, but there aren't a lot out there. Quality middles are far and few.
