// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"Everyone is excited about earning our season's first win today. I am really pleased with our quality of play all weekend with not having spent too much time on the practice court as of yet. With that said we still have so much room to grow. We'll get back to work this week to get ready for Wright St and Dayton."
