QUOTABLE
"We start with Kennesaw whose last time in Diddle was when we were hosting the NCAA tournament. They have a great coach, they're a very well-coached team. Knocked off New Mexico State in the opening conference weekend in one of those matches. It'll be fun to be back in Diddle, but it'll be a challenging weekend for sure."
