But Huiet knew the miles to this destination was longer than the nearly 10-and-a-half-hour trip from San Marcos to the Yellowhammer State, where the Sun Belt Conference Championship tournament was held.
"Emily (DeWalt), for the fourth time, (Sun Belt Conference) Setter of the Year," Huiet told his program.
