Nate Meerstein Quotations

We've finally got a monkey off our back we've been waiting for. That was the biggest win I could've used, I'll tell you that much.

We'll be pumped to go out there and play some better teams. If we can come out and play strong against Irvine and USC, I think it will be a good measuring stick and show us where we can go.

We finally got the monkey off our back with this win. We had a great week of practice and now we finally know we can play at this level. We still have strides to take and we know we can improve. We have to come in every week and practice like we did this week. We needed this win.

We have a lot of momentum going after this weekend. If we can just keep that going and keep our intensity high, we should be all right.

We wanted to make sure we proved a point to whoever we were going to be playing on Saturday night. And let them know that we know how to play and we're playing at a pretty good level right now, contrary to what people think or have been saying about us this year.

We're going to want to make a statement in that game just to prove ourselves. It's just going to be a different game plan. Honore in the middle was just unstoppable.

Consistency. We've been pretty good limiting our errors and, if we do that, we'll have no problem.

You only get better by playing with better people. That's why in this practice gym we have to get better and make our biggest strides and when we are in the games make sure we take care of business.

They're a solid team and have played some good volleyball. Obviously Ball State got us earlier in the year, but if we come out with a win, I'll feel a lot better going into the playoffs.

If we can come in and play solid volleyball, we'll shut them down early and shut them up early.
