"This weekend is no different than every conference match we have played this spring. We have done a good job of focusing on our process and that is how we have put ourselves to go undefeated in the conference. We will have a chance to play on FGCU's home court right before the conference tournament and that will be a great experience. We need to stay disciplined and control what we can control. It'll be another exciting weekend for our team." - Head Coach Mariana Cobra
