THOUGHTS FROM CSUSM HEAD COACH ANDREA LEONARD
"This was a great road win for our team today at Pomona. We were tested in set one with competitive back and forth points. I am so proud of how this team knows how to win in those moments. We are consistently improving our execution in pressure situations. We are ready for a couple of days of rest before preparing for our exciting weekend at home next week!"
 
UP NEXT
The Cougars return home to host Stanislaus State next Friday, Oct. 18. First serve is at 7 p.m.
