Thoughts From Coach:

"I'm really proud of the guys for handling their business today and staying focused from start to finish.  Last weekend we were a little too up and down, but today we came out strong and held steady for the entire match.  Hope was missing a couple guys today so I know we'll have to be even more well prepared when we see them again in a few weeks, but it's definitely nice to get that first conference win of the year."
