"What a great team win today. I was really proud of how Gene McNulty and Carter Schmidt led today. They kept the team calm and composed and ran the scout perfectly. Kyle Radecki and Drew Jansen got better as the match went on. They both did a good job finding space to attack and elevated the offense with consistency. Our middles, Zach Bulthuis, and David Markes were on fire today. It is their presence that allows us to be so efficient on offense.

We have been tested this season. I am proud of how we are starting to battle together as a unit. Excited to continue to grow together with this group."
