FROM HEAD COACH SHANNON WELLS

“Today is disappointing and I think we are feeling a little sorry for ourselves. The reality is that nobody else feels sorry for us, so we have to step up. That’s the disappointing part. I think we are way better volleyball players and we didn’t show that tonight. We’ll get some good sleep, we’ll get in the gym and get back at it tomorrow.”

UP NEXT

Virginia will close out the longest homestand of the season on Sunday (Oct. 5) at the Aquatic & Fitness Center against Syracuse. First serve is slated for 1 p.m. and will be streamed on ACCNX.
