QUOTABLES
Head Coach Terrence De Jongh
Thought on the tournament: Long two days in the heat but all went well. We did well getting three titles at home and some fell short in the final by tough third setters in flight two and five. Overall a good start but need to get back to work for the upcoming tournaments.
UP NEXT
-ULM now begins preparation for the ITA Regionals that begin on October 14th. The three-day tournament will take place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
