COACH'S QUOTE
"I am very proud of how we responded to that big goal deficit, certainly some freshmen stepped up big time, Luke Reiter and Max definitely stepped up when we needed them too," said head Coach Chris Feifs. "You can't start behind the eight ball like we keep doing and hopefully this is the last time we learn that lesson. The only way we can go is up and we are learning every single game more and more."
