"​​Man, what a run. These guys are just incredible. There are no words to describe this team. They have been resilient all season long. Coaching change, players transferring. That didn't stop them from accomplishing their mission, which was to get better every day. Today was a testament to that. Getting swept in the opening game and coming back with pure fight and sweeping a team we have not only ever swept, but ever beat. They had a look in their eyes today that I had never seen before we played against Bluefield and I knew they weren't going to lose. Mason Kenna was unbelievable with his 12 kills hitting .500 and adding 7 digs and 5 aces. Bryson closed out his career with 9 kills hitting .582. It has been a phenomenal season, and this program just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see what the future holds for CU men's volleyball." -Coach Drew Alewine
