COMMENT FROM SOPHOMORE ZA'NIYA BOYLES
 
"I think this win was what we needed. It was a great momentum starter for conference play. Coming into the match, I just wanted to be competitive and get kills for my team. That wouldn't be possible without my teammates and I coming together to do our parts."
