COACH'S CORNER

"The team fought like hell and they believed and they gave everything. We had some great performances this week and broke a ton of records and had some wins. More points by far that the men have ever scored before. I couldn't be more proud of our men and women for the effort and the fight. They were great. So honored to get the coach of the year award for the men's side. It is a tribute to our coach staff and our leadership. I am sad that this season is coming to an end. The best is yet to come for our program."
