Dave Shondell Quotations

We'll be in the situation where, if someone's not playing hard or not focused, we're going to get them out of there and play somebody else.

Nebraska is probably going to be the No. 1-ranked team in the country next fall.

If we play like we are capable of, we'll be in the golden bracket with the best teams that are there. It should be a lot of fun.

I don't think anybody can be disappointed going to the Sweet 16. You have a certain kind of year, you have emphasize that year.

Here's a kid that had such great promise and now three years later she's hoping to get healthy enough to contribute in her final year.

Her freshman year, she made the All-Big Ten Freshman team and she only played in eight games. When she got hurt, we lost eleven in a row.

Our girls have really done a great job of buying into turning this program around.

We have enough experience with the five seniors. I like our experience, but I also know we're going to play some young people.

After two months, Teague was back doing drills in practice and she's still in the very basics of rehab.

Small goals are mostly individuals getting better, especially in the area of blocking, because we are so young.

In her three years here she hasn't even played probably half a season.

I know we have some good athletes. It will be a talented team. I would be disappointed if we didn't reach this level or beyond.

I think our defense is clearly ahead of where our offense is right now. We recognize that we have a veteran setter who we think will help us catch up in a hurry.

I'd say (our team) is a great mixture of youth and experience, which I think is nice.

For our players to see that she can persevere through a tougher time than anyone on our team has experienced is certainly an attribute for our team.
