None of us are winners today -- we are all losers.

We were in every match today. We were pretty steady for the day. Our serving let us down in one game in the Evansville Reitz match. Overall, I would like to commend Kaelin Tuell. She played the back row for us and did a good job. Kara Dieterlen helped us with a couple of service runs and she's starting to show elements of leadership, which we've been looking for. I thought Kelsie McKee did a pretty good job at the net.

We've been playing forever. It works well with the four of us.

I'm telling you, he's the meanest, nastiest runner I've ever competed against. He's a throwback. He's something like Earl Campbell in that he's a mean, nasty runner.

The moves they made in the off-season, those are key ingredients to a winning record. I think guys are excited about the fact that we really made some strong moves and put some guys in place on offense and defense to try to help this team get in better position to win and compete.

I know my body and I told them I can be back before then. It's such a tough challenge for me that I want to be out there as fast as I can.
