DBU HEAD COACH WADE MORGAN ON THE TEAM'S DETERMINATION
"Adjusting to the altitude was tough, but everyone came around relatively quick.  We are super proud of how our team handled the adversities of playing five team matches in three days and when it came down to it, we stepped up in the big moments and it was fun to watch.  We have things to work on for sure, but this weekend was a great jumping off point for our season and we're excited for the upcoming year."
