Head Coach Ed Pretre
"This was by far our best dual meet of the season. Our team made a big step in the right direction of understanding that feeling is very much overrated at this time of year. We look forward to a little rest going into our West Virginia meet next weekend and plan to carry this positive momentum into next week."
