Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"I'm really happy with a lot of things from the team this weekend. We're thankful for easy travel and a good match hosted by Nebraska. Hats off to them in their match. Abby and I continue to enjoy watching the girls compete and grow each week. Smallbore was really strong again, so we're pleased with that. Also, this is the first match this season that hasn't been some type of team record. I think it's important we have this experience as a team before we gear up for postseason and re-align our performance with our values. I'm looking forward to returning to the warmer weather in Georgia. Hail Southern!"
