On Austin Squires:
"Austin had a very solid week. It didn't finish as he would've liked, but now he has something to build on as the spring season continues."
On the team's performance:
"We started so poorly today that we had very little chance to recover. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. The mistakes that we made this week were very uncharacteristic of this team. We have a quick turnaround and must be better prepared for Michigan State both physically and mentally."
