Head Coach F. D. Robbins comments on the match. "I felt like everyone played very well. The worry when you play a team you know you should beat is that the guys won't be ready. Upsets happen in sports when the guys don't get ready for the teams they should beat."
"I think we are getting a little momentum. Hopefully we will play a good match against Idaho."
