California Coach Rich Feller
“It's always tough to travel and play anyone when you're one and done. Liberty has 27 wins this year, and they're a pretty good team. They came out and had a ton of energy. They have a great system with a good team that is willing to pay whatever price. In game one, we worked as head as we could and took them out of there rhythm, but they kept pushing. That's a credit to their program that they were able to continue to push and get a game. We're not used to that.”
“We're feeling pretty good now that we have a game under our belt and some of the travel concerns out of the way. We can focus on the winner of this next match and settle into our routine. One of the biggest things for us is that we play in a tough conference, but we also play back-to-back nights against two very good teams in a row. That was something that we're really used to feeling. We'll be ready tomorrow for whoever we face.”
Liberty Coach Shane Pinder
"I watched Cal all year. If you're in this profession, you watch the best-of-the-best a lot, and I got to see them against Stanford in their last match. Coming in, being in the Pac-10, they're the best blocking and serving team in the conference. Preparing for them, we were trying to get ready for those things ? just trying to control the ball and trying to score with them. The serving and blocking goes hand-in-hand. If you don't serve tough, then they can get into their blocking systems a lot better.
"I was proud our kids and their effort tonight. They don't see the importance of winning that game, but from my standpoint that's a huge win. For our program and what we're trying to do, that's something we can build off of. Talking to them in the locker room, I told them if that doesn't make you hungry to be back here and have another chance, then I recruited the wrong kids. They all looked me, and I asked them how much time they were going to take off and they all said none. I said 'that's the right answer.' "
