Saundra Hess Quotations

What we lack in height we make up for in jumping ability. I think I've got some great little athletes in the packages they're in.

We ran our middle a little more, we ran our outside a little more and we need to do that. We need to show a little diversity.

I forgot how much work it was. Switching over to this, they have helped me make this a good adjustment.

We took care of business like we're supposed to. It was refreshing to handle things efficiently.

Our goal is to close the gap and we're in complete control of that. I think the girls are beginning to sense that (the playoffs) could become a reality.

Our goal has to be to get into the playoffs. They're working every bit as hard as I expect them to.

We could never get a run going. We shot ourselves in the foot.

We had discussed in practice that we have to over come obstacles. When we get in trouble we can't have the letdowns.

Those games went so fast because we didn't play full matches, and we couldn't get settled in but we're happy with how we came came out. It's a good confidence builder for us; we just need to come in on Saturday morning and take care of business so we can advance to the championship bracket.

We'd like to really give credit where credit is due to the Booster Club for their generosity. It is very uncomfortable for the players, fans and officials and this will make it a lot more comfortable for everybody.

The critical factor for this team is they have to remain disciplined and focused. I think that's what kept them from the playoffs last year and the year before.

Every time we get in trouble it's because we're tentative. Execution is critical.

They were just serving the lights out of the ball. We had to scrap and fight for everything in that first game.

I have to find a better answer and the kids have to find a better answer. It's time to redeem ourselves and pull it back together.

The chemistry is so vital. That's a huge thing in volleyball.
