Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"Pretty fun day for our team overall. I'm really happy with a lot of things from today's match. We are a lot stronger mentally and are approaching our matches in a smarter way. I think smallbore was maybe a bit of a struggle across the board, but when we're considering a program record to be a tough day, I think it speaks highly of this team's potential. We're excited to have another opportunity to compete tomorrow!"
