Coach Belzung's Reaction
"What a fun match! Across the board I thought tonight was just competitive and gritty volleyball on both sides of the net. New Hampshire played crazy defense and kept every ball alive which stressed our offense. We had a serving run in each set that allowed us to grind out a win over a very good team. We celebrate our seniors on Sunday at 1 pm."
