Post-Game Quotes – Head Coach Chris Green
 
Thoughts on game – “It was a rough weekend. We played tough and things didn't go out way. We outshot Mississippi and Alabama but lost both games. It goes to show that you can't just have a good offense but need to play solid defense also. We look forward to rebounding next weekend with the big games against next weekend.”
 
What needs to be improved before the Calvin games – “We need to get back to the basics. We had early success and have started to get away from the good things we were doing. We need to move our feet when passing, crash the net, and go to the net off shots.”
