HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head Volleyball Coach Amanda Schultze on where her team stands right now:

"Our middles are doing a nice job playing defense at the net," Schultze said. "We get a lot of touches, and we've really stepped it up in that area lately. As a whole, we need to learn to talk throughout the entire match and bounce back after a couple of errors."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will take on Central Community College for the first time in conference play at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Columbus, Nebraska.
