Turhan Douglas Team Quotations

We're one of the smallest teams in the country. And going against a taller team poses quite a challenge.

Jimmy is one of the nation's top setters. He has done an excellent job of leading us from the day he got here. He worked out in the off-season with the football team and is now a bigger, stronger, faster, more flexible and more physical player.

I think the better team won. We fought hard, and they fought hard, but they were a little more consistent with their serves and passes than we were, and that was that.

This year's team is on a mission. They're not just playing for themselves. They're playing for this school's honor and for the great players from the championship teams who came before them. They know they're being watched by those players. They feel a sense of responsibility.

They have some very, very tough international players. Their level of play is pretty high, and they do pretty well against (NCAA) Division-I teams; they're a difficult team to prepare for.
