QUOTING LAUNIERE:
On the upcoming NCAA First and Second Rounds and the Colorado match-up-?In the last week, I felt really comfortable about our chances of going to the NCAAs, I felt like we did everything we needed to do and then I started to have some doubts in the past couple of days. Around five o?clock today, I started getting fired up with anticipation. I?m so happy for our team because we really exceeded our expectations when we started this season. In August, we had eight newcomers and we lost three of our key offensive players from last year?s team and I didn?t know where the offense was going to come from for this season. We?ve got really good leadership from our captains this year and they are a group of kids with great attitudes. It seemed like every match we had this season, somebody different stepped-up.?
