HEAR FROM COACH BECKER
"Overall I'm proud of the team and the way we competed this weekend," first year head coach
Nick Becker said. "The best part about this team is that win or lose they all support each other and want to see each other do well individually. When one guy takes a tough loss, the whole team feels it and vice versa. I love this team and the effort they put in to continue to get better. We need to stay humble and continue to make improvements each day."
