QUOTABLES – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann

"It was a nice team win tonight. I thought our defensive effort was very solid overall. Kenzie [Foley] was very aggressive attacking, Hannah Bruskiewicz was very efficient and Keely [Kurschner] did a great job digging balls. Our service was very solid and we put some pressure on them from the service line which helped us out by making it easier to defend."
