Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly and senior Jackie Wolfe.

Illini Drive: Another tough weekend, 0-2, going up to Minnesota and Wisconsin. I guess, what happened?

Jackie Wolfe: I’ll start with Wisconsin. I thought we had times we didn’t compete as hard as we could. There was times that we did, and then there were times we didn’t. And obviously we lost. And (Sunday) at Minnesota, there were glimpses of us where we played really well for a longer period of time. Second set I thought went really well until the end. But we just need to focus hard and competing for longer periods of time.

ID: Now the Wisconsin match was a back-and-forth affair at setter. It was Annie (Luhrsen) and Lex (Alexis Viliunas), and Annie and Lex. And then Annie got the start on (Sunday). So where do you stand in this battle right now?

Kevin Hambly: It’s just we’re going to do what it takes to win. They both have proven they can play at a high level. Lex came in, we won the first set, but she didn’t set particularly well. In fact at the end, we were really struggling to get any kind of offense going. And I put Annie in real early in the second set because it wasn’t going well early. Annie did a good job. But we lost (the set). So we decided, “Hey, we’ll go back with Lex.” And we came close, we probably should’ve won that set. Then it wasn’t going well in the fourth and we put in Annie in. And we thought we really played well with Annie after that.

ID: How tough are these decisions to make with the setter and your outsides?

KH: They’re all tough. But they’re educated. We’re looking at how they’re playing, we’re not just randomly doing things. We talk about it before the match. And if certain things happen, we make those changes.

 ID: Jackie, how does that affect the team rhythm-wise with different rotations coming in?

JW:I think everybody is ready to go in, and I think everybody works hard and is ready to go in and try to bring a spark. I think Morganne (Criswell) does a great job when she goes in and gets a kill. She gets things going, she celebrates and gets everyone in a good mood. Everyone is ready, and everyone can benefit the team when they go in.

ID: The Salary Guide came out (Monday) … What do you think of literally everyone on campus knowing what you make?

KH: I mean if someone want to look it up, they can look it up. … Now everyone knows.
