QUOTABLE
"It was a good event to cap the fall off on," said head coach Austin King. "We played solid today, just not quite sharp enough to be at the top at the end but had a lot of good things to hang our hat on. This group is for sure better than they were 8 weeks ago and I'm excited for what's ahead for them! Time to hit the grindstone for the offseason!"
