"I don't care if it's in three, four or five games, anytime you can beat Southern Idaho on their home court it's a good night," Reynolds said. "We got off to a slow start, made some adjustments in the second set, and got things figured out. I'm extremely proud of this team for the way they played tonight. It was a complete team victory. I'm also extremely grateful for the 46 players, assistant coaches, managers, trainers, administrative staff, and all those who have helped us put together a great run the past four years. It's true what they say about surrounding yourself with great people."
