QUICK HITS
POSTGAME QUOTES
"I think we came out with a lot of positive energy and I believe that we served well. We got Georgia Southern out of transition a bunch tonight and got some transition swings in system which allowed us to be successful. Katarina took some great swings out there tonight I thought she did well with mixing up her shots all over the court and that helped her success." – Coach Steve Loeswick
Â
"We came out really focused tonight as we wanted a home win ahead of Friday night's matchup with JU. I think the team was really focused and from the start we kept challenging Georgia Southern and our hard work paid off." – Katarina Raicevic

North Florida starts the second half of league play Friday when it battles Jacksonville inside UNF Arena. First serve is slated for 7 p.m. in the River City Rumble rematch.
