Straight from the Courts
Head Coach Danny Westerman: "This was another very tough early-season match on the road, and we will take a great deal from it. A lot of positives during the match and we will learn from the moments that we could have been better. We have a tough group that loves to compete and we have so much room to grow. I'm excited to see them bounce back and hopefully take a step forward Sunday versus Michigan State."
