guys harder missed played problem served tonight
We played very well and played a lot of guys, a lot of guys that need experience. Our one problem tonight was our serving. We served harder but we missed too many.
deserved hard played players pleased practice tonight worked
I was very pleased tonight to get in those players who've worked very hard in practice and deserved to play. We played them all and they played well.

He's doing well. He's working hard. Sometimes people say to him, 'You've got all of the experience.' But it's been a couple of years since he played (internationally).
absolutely fan fire fun played struggling whatever
We've been struggling lately, struggling with questioning ourselves. Who should be in the line-up, who should be doing what. Whatever it was, I think they were all on fire and they just played incredible. If you're a UH fan it was absolutely fun to watch.
errors magical played settled sorts
We made all sorts of errors in the first game. We were nervous. We just settled down after that and played the way we can. There wasn't anything magical about it, we just played better.
chemistry consistent ensure focus good intensity played receive serve tournament trying
The tournament was a good experience. We've been trying to focus on serve and serve receive and to ensure our chemistry and intensity are good over time. I thought we played with chemistry and were consistent for the most part this weekend.
against ball bottom critical fifth game line missed played second serves six team
The bottom line is that at critical times, the other team had better ball control. We played a lot better in the second match. We missed six serves in the fifth game and you just can't do that against a team like Hawaii.
harder performed played plays pressure served
They served harder and more consistently than us. They performed better under pressure and made the right plays at the right time. They out played us tonight.
ball consistent good improve pass played serve win
We played a very good and consistent team. We showed that we can win but we aren't consistent enough. We need to improve our ball control. We didn't pass and serve well tonight. If we can improve that, we'll be better.
ball beat excellent good namely needed played team
It's not how we wanted to end the season. We played a very good team that is excellent at their place. They did the things they needed to do to beat us, namely ball control. Congratulations to them. They are well coached.
good played road sea since
It's been a while since we've played someone this good on the road at sea level. It will be a big test.
allowed came crowd game mistake somewhere
I thought somewhere in the 20's in Game 4, we started to play better. It came down to if they (UCSB) would make a mistake and they did. That allowed our crowd to get into the game and get us going.
accept coming matches playing time work
We have some time to work on things now. We just need to get better. We have important matches coming up. We can't accept not playing great.
opened passed
Our middles are very good. We passed really well and that opened things up for our offense.
