CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"Hard fought battle versus an NCAA contender. Our team did a great job of fighting. We had some opportunities in the match to turn some sets in our favor but needed to get some sets in our favor but needed to be a bit more clean with our tactics during those more competitive moments. The positive is our team is playing top level teams and getting into those competitive moments. These are great learning opportunities for us and I feel it helps us prepare and get better."

UP NEXT:
USF will now take turn their attention to the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos for a Saturday afternoon duel down the coast.
