QUOTABLE (WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm
  • "Obviously it's nice to take care of business at home. I thought in the first set we got ourselves out to a nice little lead, Regina made a push and we fell asleep a little. Any team in this league is going to take advantage of that so hopefully that's a lesson learned. After that our serve game picked up a little bit and our defensive intensity was better – I think those were two things that were lacking a little early on in the match – so it was nice to see those turn around."
  • "We had some people come in that not only came in, they made some contributions so that was great to see. Megan Machan came in and did a really great job. Akeira Anseth came in as a defending libero and did well. Chelsea Okafor, Lola Doef came in and did some good things, so it's nice to get those people out there and have them contribute. It was a good team win."

UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will hit the road next weekend as they travel to Vancouver for a pair of games against the UBC Thunderbirds. Those games are set for Nov. 6 and 7 at 7:15 and 5:45 p.m.
