NCAA Volleyball Regional Championship Match Stanford 3, Texas A&M 0 Post-game Quotes
Texas A&M Aggies
Head Coach Laurie Corbelli: Opening Statement - We came in with a lot of spirit and a lot of belief and we got beat by a better team. They're bigger, they're more experienced, they've got an Olympian - who dominated with 20 kills and two errors - and there aren't a lot of teams in the country who could have an answer for that. We had an awesome season, I'm so incredibly proud of this team. To be ranked 15th in the nation and finish in the Elite Eight is a feat that I'm incredibly proud of. Four of our six losses were to teams in the Final Four. We're just really proud of our program and we're holding our heads high. We were glad to get this experience, I think it can only help us in the future.

Senior Captain Robyn Lewis: Opening Statement - We came out and we played well tonight, Texas A&M also played well. We did a good job of passing and really executing our offense, we served very well and blocked very well too. I think we're getting better and better as each game goes on, especially at passing. I think that we are on a roll right now and heading into the Final Four and we're very positive. We're looking forward to these upcoming games.
Senior Player Tara Conrad: How do you feel as a senior with this as your last game at Maples Pavilion? One of our goals of the season was to go undefeated at home and we accomplished that. Coming into this game with five seniors on the team we said, "there's no way we're losing our last game at home, it's not even an option." It's really nice to get that under our belt and have that memory be our last game at Maples.
Junior Player Logan Tom: How much are you looking forward to playing Nebraska, last year's winner? Nebraska's always been a strong force in the past few years, especially with their size, they're a very good blocking team. I had the chance to see them play last year and they have an overall great game. I haven't played them yet in my college career, so I'm pretty excited for this match to come.
