Quote of the Day

We know they’re a great opponent — we played them twice during the year.  They’re playing very well and, as they did both times we played them, they play very hard and we respect that a great deal . . . .  I think I’ll point out two things: I’ll point out that they beat the #1 seed yesterday [Thursday], and two years ago at Wisconsin, they beat us.  So I don’t think there would be any possibility of us not taking them seriously.”  Penn State Head Coach Russ Rose on facing Wisconsin in the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Tournament Finals.
