HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head volleyball coach Amanda Schultze's overall thoughts on the game:

"We need to get better," Schultze said. "We aren't showing up mentally and are not staying disciplined."

Schultze on how she wants her team to use the weekend before her team returns to their home floor next Wednesday:

"We need to work hard in practice the next few days and demand more from each other," Schultze said.
