QUOTABLES – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann

"I want to congratulate Bemidji on a great match for them. They fought hard, blocked really well and covered a lot of touches tonight – they played really clean volleyball and made us earn every point we had. They competed and deserved to win tonight."

"For the most part we passed well, when we served in we served tough and made them uncomfortable. We really struggled slowing down their middles – especially on their slides – they were just a little more aggressive than we were tonight."

"It'll be good to see how we respond. The kind of focus we have in practice – with all our young players, we're trying to reset and work on culture – remind ourselves of what it takes to me successful on a day-to-day basis."
