Anytime you travel, it will be tough. We played Idaho in the springtime and beat them in a two-out-three match, so the girls will have confidence going into that game. |
As a coach, I don't know if you look at it like that. Our next match against Idaho is just another match we want to get better at, to prepare us for our conference and hopefully beyond that as well. |
For me, whatever is going to make her happy is the most important thing. This makes her happy. |
For Michelle, it's an important spring. We will need a defensive specialist or two to step up and that could be her spot. She needs to continue to play volleyball on the side and get better. If she does that, she'll be fine. |
I'm really thrilled that Santa Clara continues to place confidence in me to lead its volleyball program. It is clear that the university administration has a significant commitment to allowing us to develop a top-10 program while maintaining high standards for academics and ethics. After doing some soul-searching about what I want in my life, I really continue to be drawn to the fact that I can mirror our volleyball program's philosophies with those of Santa Clara University. |
It's a great honor for both Cassie and the program. Cassie has worked hard on her game for the last three years and to be recognized for having a great weekend and helping us beat two ranked opponents is just awesome. I'm so happy for her. |
