QUOTABLE – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann
"I thought we did a fantastic job with our serving and passing today and defensively we were very solid overall as well. There were lots of long rallies and solid defensive plays and I wish our attackers would have been just a little bit more patient because I thought we forced some things offensively and got a little too frustrated when we didn't score easily. I was very impressed with Winona's defense and thought they had some fantastic blocking as well. We were able to go on a couple of sustained runs in the match, and had at least one run per set, so that really helped us get some momentum."
