WHAT WAS SAID
"It comes down to the fact that Birmingham-Southern came to win today and we, unfortunately, did not," Head Coach Brittany Newberry stated. "Our performance today was not what I want Warrior Volleyball to represent. We must quickly learn from this and grow as we have to regroup and take on Millsaps Sunday."
