QUOTABLES – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann

"I am really proud of our women after a great weekend sweep. We had the chance to play a bunch of different women today and wanted to give them the opportunity to get some experience. I thought defensively we were very solid, and we served extremely tough and aggressive. Certainly, there are some things we still want to clean up – we need to block a little bit better. We also need to do a better job on hitter coverage and limiting errors, but overall, I was very pleased with our performance."
