COACH TOMIC QUOTE
"I am very proud of our team for the way they prepared and played against a tough Miami team. We executed our game plan excellently and everyone did their job. Our defense and serve receive were outstanding and helped us create opportunities for our offense that was also very efficient tonight tonight.

This might be our best performance this season but we want to build on this and continue getting better. We have another tough opponent this Saturday and all of our attention is on preparation for NIU."
