FROM HEAD COACH KERRIE TURNER
"I definitely saw progress from last weekend to this weekend. Our team is hungry to fill line-up spots and get back to full strength. I expect that we will be at full lineups next weekend and then we will build towards hitting our routines as a team. I continue to be impressed with the character of our student-athletes through a roller coaster ride of a January. We had to be patient through the early part of this season but everyone in our program believes that every opportunity to compete is strengthening our resolve."
