COREY CARLIN'S COURSE OF THOUGHT
"I'm proud of how we responded after set one.  We talked about having a strong defensive presence and making it difficult for Furman to score and we did that in sets 2-4.  We had several players make great defensive plays at the net and in the back court which fueled our offense.  This was a great team win."

UPCOMING
The Spartans will stay home and welcome Wofford for senior night tomorrow at 5 p.m. Prior to the match, UNCG will honor Jenna Wiggs, Amanda Garvens, Stephanie Meysembourg, and Kayla White.
