Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"There were a lot of things to take away from our matches this weekend, both good and improvements to be made. Obviously, it was a good weekend from a program standpoint with all the broken records and great individual performances. I think this gives us a good starting point to return to Statesboro and build from!"
