QUOTABLE
Trinity Western Assistant Coach Brynden MacTavish
"I think it's important to know that for Canada West night two everyone is going to be better and we just had to make sure that we were one of those teams tonight. I was super proud of the team for playing a complete three sets start to finish mentally more than anything of being able to be sharp and have great communication. We got contributions from a lot of people, got some players in and on the floor, and it just made for a really fun home opener weekend and we are excited to go to work now and get ready for UBC next weekend."
