COACH'S QUOTE 
"Our men squared off against one of the top teams in the conference today. We knew going into the match that it would be an uphill battle but our guys fought hard throughout the entire match. We learned what the next level of competition looks like and hopefully our guys have a better feel for what it's going to take to become one of the top teams in the conference" - Coach Kirby Ronning
