Getting quality on the road wins is going to be really pivotal to our ranking and as we continue to proceed through the year."

SENIOR LOVE-STAR ALEXIS
"We hadn't played Murray State since 2020, my freshman year. We did not know what to expect, but knowing we had one doubles already. We were confident in getting one of the two.
