KEY QUOTES
Head Coach Tom Black
On the momentum in the second set…
"Our passing and serving pressure picked up, and we started to get on our front load a little bit better on the block defensive side."

On his 400th career win…
"I appreciate the players and coaches helping me coach, and I am really fortunate."

Alyssa Worden | OH | Senior
On how they picked up momentum after the second set…
"I want to shout out to Keira [Steininger] because she really came in and gave us a lot of energy. Obviously, she was getting it up behind the service line, and that really helped our block defense. Maybe we didn't start hot, but we know our team, and we trust each other. Obviously, we had some people step up for us today, and that made a really big impact."

On how they will prepare to face challenges on the road in the upcoming week…
"Rest and recovery. Like I said, we know how talented we are, and we have a lot of trust within our system. Tom [Black] does a great job preparing us. We attack every game with a very specific strategy each time. That gives us a lot of confidence going into games."

Georgia is back on the road this weekend, beginning Friday, Oct. 9, when the Bulldogs travel to Starkville for a matchup at Mississippi State. First serve is set for 6 p.m. ET.
