adds came coming finished good instead last prove ranked team teams
Coming out No. 1 adds pressure. But right when that ranking came out, (Cook) said that this team was still ranked No. 5 the way we finished last year. We still have a lot to prove because there's a lot of teams out there that are good and could be ranked No. 1 instead of us.
awesome bounce early learn level loses piece teams trying volleyball weekend win
It's still early and all the teams right now are still trying to get everything to piece together. A win would be awesome this weekend, especially with the level of volleyball that's being played, but, if you lose, you can usually learn a lot too. Besides, any team that loses this weekend will bounce back from the loss.
comparable loud places says top tough
It was loud in there, and really tough for us. That says a lot for Missouri. It's not comparable to the (Nebraska) Coliseum, but it's one of the top places we've played.
deep people six starting
I wouldn't say (Cook) has come out with a set starting six yet. We have a deep bench, so if people are struggling, we have people to come in and out of the match.
awards people relationships
Accomplishments and awards are forgotten. People and relationships are something that I'll never forget.
focus focused high level side staying volleyball
We just know that we'll have to play some high level volleyball this weekend. We really just have to focus on our game, on our side and on staying focused for the whole match.
almost easy girls losing took
We were almost tasting it. Girls that went through it took it pretty hard. It wasn't easy to come out on the losing end of that match.
