QUOTING HEAD COACH Joe Spallina
"It's great to get another quality win vs. a ranked opponent. It was definitely not a thing of beauty. I think we did some great things, but also did some things uncharacteristic of our team. That's the great thing about starting the season against high-quality teams, it gives us a great opportunity to find our flaws early on and improve. The team and I are excited to get back to LaValle Stadium for our home opener in front of the best fans in the game."

On Kylie Ohlmiller: "Kylie was incredible tonight, she was a great leader and made so many great plays. On Friday night, USC was doubling and tripling her and she was so poised and never forced anything. She embodies so many superstar qualities that you wish to have in a player and a person."
