Elaine Youngs Quotations

We won't be the favorites because Kerry and Misty are still the No. 1 team. But I hope we're some of the fans' favorites.

I think you put the pressure on them and they're mortal. I think we're a smart team. You have plenty of athletes who don't have it mentally. With us, that's one of our strengths.

We could have very easily lost in two, but I thought we battled and we had a lot of fun. We laughed about the play where there was nobody up (to block) and Rachel dug (a straight-down spike by Walsh) off her boobs.

We were aggressive, whether it was jump-serving, hitting on two, or playing free. We were such a great team.

Rachel was first on my list. I'm so happy it's happened this way. I'm having so much fun and I'm probably playing the best volleyball of my career. Rachel has a lot to do with that.

At first I didn't know what to expect, because Rachel has never won domestically. I believe regardless of whom I'm playing with, I'm going to win. It's been an awesome ride. I'm so stoked having Rachel on my team. You never know what's going to happen.

It wasn't like Misty played horrible. But Rachel was just laying out to make some of those digs.

I kicked myself about that afterward. I just eased up and didn't go for it like I usually do.
