QUOTABLE – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann
"A very, very solid offensive performance for the Huskies, as all five of our attackers hit over .300. Defensively, I thought we were on our heels a little bit in the first two sets, but I really thought we clamped down in the third set. Our serving was solid and we passed very well. In all, it was a really strong finish to the end of our regular season, that has us on a nice little winning streak. Playoff start next week and it's a whole new ball game. We are very excited to see what happens again as we get rolling into the conference tournament."
