Coaches Quote 
"I think the main takeaway is we're not too far away from last year's team," head coach Scott Gyllenborg said. "We don't need to change a lot we don't need to over complicate things. We're not going to be perfect, but we need to continue to train together. Let's make small improvements, let's not make a big deal about the loss Friday, or a win today. But we're happy with where we are."
