MIQUELA SANTORO ON OLD DOMINION
"Going into this away game, I'm excited. They just beat Auburn on the road so they're pretty hyped probably and I think it'll be interesting to see how we compete because they're a more fast-paced team. We just have to come out with a lot of energy from the beginning."
