Head Coach Dave Rollins – “Overall we had a very solid week of competing against bigger programs. Getting the exposure and experience sets us up very well for the ASUN Championships in February as well as NCAAs in March. Placing new names into our top 10 list is extremely encouraging for the first half of the season. We are ready to get back to work. It’s all gas and no breaks from here on out!”
