He's feeling better. I expect him to be ready.
came focused game serving took
We really came out and focused on our serving and took them out of their game right away.
extra feeding fired friends-or-friendship guy problem
When you have friends on the other side, you get more fired up for the games. There's no problem in feeding a guy who has that little extra in him.
fortunate scouting
We had no film (of the Ramblers) and no scouting report. We're fortunate to squeak out one.
matter night prepares success thinks
His success is all to him. It's all a matter of how he thinks each night and how he prepares for each game.
focus friday scenarios thinking
There are so many different scenarios that could play out that we can't be thinking about that. We have to focus on Friday and then on Saturday.
based knew
We were going off based on what we knew (from the summer) and grapevine stuff. We had to make in-game adjustments.
doubt rather today win
Today was bittersweet, without a doubt. I'd much rather have a win than first-team anything.
ball decided exploit middle move opening saw stopped trying until usual
I was just trying to move the ball around as usual and keep them guessing. I saw that opening down the middle and decided to exploit it until they stopped it.
advantage choice problem saw took
I saw the opening, took advantage of it and had no problem making that choice.
ball calls good hitter matter route runs tough
He's a good hitter because he runs his route hard, no matter where he is. He calls for the ball loud. It's tough not to give someone like him the ball.
control cutting game pace second third
We got going there at the end of the first game and started cutting down on our errors. Then our control of the pace of the game really showed in the second and third games.
anxious caught few harder improve mental
We got caught in a few mental errors. We were a little anxious after a long, restful weekend. We can improve on that, as well as working harder on our serves.
I don't want to take anything away from Pacific, but I was pretty much tossing it up.
