Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"Today definitely wasn't our best performance and it didn't look pretty, but I'm really happy with how they handled the harder moments in the match today and dug in. Our goal was to have one of our performance peaks for the year happen right before break so I'm really pleased with meeting that goal. We're excited to get back and get ready for our trip to Colorado Springs before break. GATA!"
