"I think we made some positive steps this week and overall competed much better," said Head Coach Josh Henry. "We still have a lot of work to do in order to get where we expect to be later in the season, but we had good week as a team and I'm looking forward to putting in more good work in preparation for next week's Tadd Metzger Invitational."
