\u201cI have a lot of respect for Daytona State,\u201d said Head Coach German Del Valle. \u201cThey have incredible defense and play with a lot of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told our players at the beginning of the first set that we\u2019re going to have to hit them with a hammer if we want to beat them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we went a little bit away from who we are. We were making serving errors and hitting errors that we don\u2019t usually do. We have to take care of our side more in the next game. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
