Coach's Quotes:
"This is our second road trip, it will be our fourth match, and we are going to take a little bit of a larger team this time," said head coach Web Wright. "I am expecting that we will perform very well. Although we didn't pull off the win against Murray State, I think we shot reasonably well there, and that's probably a more indicative match of what we are capable of. I would like to see us go in and shoot comparable scores against Nebraska. Hopefully we can move on up in the polls a little bit with a good performance."
