Wichita State head coach Chris Lamb:

"I want to congratulate Missouri State. I thought all year, they had the most firepower, and now they're an NCAA tournament team. I also want to congratulate the conference, they got what they wanted by getting two teams in the tournament."

Senior Elizabeth Myers:

"(Missouri State) was hustling and digging, they were everywhere. They had the fire tonight."

Missouri State head coach Melissa Stokes

"We had to have four attackers on tonight, and there had to be offensive options. Tonight we had everybody on, and we dug a lot of balls. If we play like we did tonight, I feel like we could play with anybody."

Senior Katie Werges, MVC tournament MVP

"Going into the match, we remembered getting stomped in three games. Tonight, we had the fire. We knew we had to play our best until the final whistle blew, and we came out as a great unit."

Senior Sabrina Apker

"The match came out our way. It feels great."
