Beth Launiere Playing Quotations

Our schedule has us playing some Top 25 teams this season. This schedule is a better situation for our team. It's strong enough to get some national-level matches and it still gives us the chance to get some wins against some of the top programs out there.

We've had some tough losses in the last couple of weeks. We just decided to go into this tournament and play as a team. We've been on and off in playing together because we don't have the years of trust built up. You get into pressure situations, and it's hard to have that trust level. We said we had to have it and everyone committed to it.

This is a very big accomplishment. It's going to be an invaluable experience for her to play with top athletes from across the country. Playing high-level volleyball like this will keep her on track for the goals she has set for herself both collegially and nationally.
