Pepperdine Head Coach Nina Mathies:
Opening Statement
"We came here a month ago and had an incredible match. I hoped to have another great match tonight. I thought we could be at a disadvantage playing in their gym with a rowdy crowd. We are both quite a bit alike, we play hard and compete hard. I'm very glad we get to go one more match."
On making the Elite Eight and facing USC
"I thought this year we had the team to do it. We wanted to go beyond the first round. It was our time to win one of these."
"USC is great team. There is no pressure on the Waves."
Pepperdine freshman Breegan Mulligan:
On playing USC
Although we did play them earlier in the year, we are so much better now. We were a little overwhelmed earlier, now as a team we are ready.
Pepperdine junior Katie Wilkins:
On her team's confidence
We are now playing with a great deal of confidence. We have done well and there is no doubting ourselves,
UCSB Coach Kathy Gregory:
I want to congratulate Pepperdine; they are a great team and the better team tonight. They are a bigger team and have more firepower. Their hitting was a notch better than ours.
