Coachs Remarks

"A great team performance tonight, and it needed to be against a very strong North Park team. What impressed me tonight was our character. To come back twice at the home of last year's conference champions showed grit and desire. I think the leadership on the field from captains Nick Renfro and Mickey Reilly was exceptional tonight and made the difference. I'm pleased with the result, but we still have a lot more work to do."
