COACH'S QUOTE
"From a team standpoint, we were definitely outmatched in both races," said Head Coach Matt Belfied. "Those are really good teams we faced today. Getting our butts kicked a little can be good though…no improvement without some failure. Joe and I are pleased with the effort and many of our folks had exceptionally good races. We will look to move past some illnesses and get back to preparation for the next few races as we move into the heart of the season."
