Thoughts from Coach Briscoe
"Tonight was a great team win for us in conference play. We had a balanced offensive effort through the evening but had some stand out performances by Frame and Petersen. None of this would be possible though without our defense. They do not get a lot of praise, but they are the true backbone of our team that make it possible for us to stay in system. Looking forward to another strong effort tomorrow!"
