Quotable – USF Head Coach Ashley Fisher
"Today was a good performance from our entire team. It's never easy for us playing indoors as it's tough to adjust quickly but we were able to do it and play better as the match went on. We are starting to play well across the board and that makes us a very good and dangerous team. Our seniors led by Chase Ferguson did a phenomenal job today. Chase and Ivan are improving every match. Serge has been a rock for us all year and Toni showed a lot of toughness fighting off match points."

Up Next
South Florida will close out its two-match road stretch when it heads to Oklahoma to face Tulsa on Sunday at 10 a.m. ET.
