FROM THE SOUCRE
"I was happy with the competitive effort and the resilience that our kids demonstrated today. We have gained a lot of valuable experience and learned a lot this indoor season. I am really proud of the seniors and excited as we watch the underclass men and women find their footing in this league. We have a lot of work to do but I believe this group is up for the challenge."
