QUOTABLE
- "It was a good match for us. Kalah Jones had a good game and Rebekah Strange was great again on the back row. She gets better every week, and she continues to take on more responsibility back there. This was another good one for our morale as we get ready for the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The girls came in and knew was at stake today and took care of business." -- VCU Coach Jody Rogers
