QUOTABLE – St. Cloud State head coach Chad Braegelmann
"It was a fun match tonight for the Huskies in a new gymnasium for us. Jamestown has a history of success at the national level in the NAIA, so we know that they can compete and play at a very high level. Tonight, I was very impressed with their serving and passing – they put pressure on us from the service line, and I thought they did a really good job of passing even our tough serves. Overall, I was very proud of our offensive performance. Our hitters were able to contact all night and get on the ball fast. We did a really good job of getting them out of system with our attack and had more offensive fire power than they did tonight. Our blocking was solid at times, and we did just enough to win very close second and third sets to pull out the sweep."
