 Notes & Quotes
Winning Coach, Peg Kopec, Wheaton (St. Francis) -- "Today's match was surprising. Our team needed to move more to the net. There was good blocking. I like how our players hit in a variety of spots. We played very tentative the first gam e. We look forward to playing Mt. Pulaski tomorrow. We know they have a quick offense, so we'll have to be up on that."

Erica Greer -- "We tried to play consistently and step up to the net. We all wanted to win so badly that we ended our errors. I'm used to playing deep. Our team found their weaknesses early, and adapted well. Our team works well all year ."

Erin Byrd -- "We knew the other team was good and what we had to expect. Five of us played last year, so we were well prepared."

Shannon Melka -- "I thought the team was caught up with everything throughout the game. The magnitude was good, and the team responded well."

Katie Virtue -- "Everyone on the team is good friends. We respect each other and being friends on and off the court makes us a better team."

Losing Coach, Jim Cook, Breese (Central) -- "My kids played with some heart and some guts. It just didn't happen. I'm not the least upset with my team. I would take them any day. We made too many coverage mistakes. Against a good team l ike that, you can't make too many mistakes."
