"Overall a very good weekend for this group. Everyone competed extremely well over the three days. Just like every team this time of year trying to get back to form we need to show up at practice each day with the right attitude and mindset to improve. Everyone on this team has a lot of room for growth. I look forward to next weekend's event at Indiana.
