COACH'S QUOTE
"I was pleased with how the teams fought for every point they could get. We really had a pretty rough week health-wise coming in, so both teams getting a few more points than they were seeded for made for a satisfying outcome," said head coach
Matt Belfield. "All-conference results today from Rachel and Alex were highlights for sure. Alex continues to deliver historic performances at the right time. I also want to recognize rookies Finn, Eve, and Ryleigh for scoring in their first AE championship."
