Coaches comments:

Adding some insight, Associate Head Coach Covile said this was a great win leading into conference play.  We are starting to come together as a team. Guys are getting better and gaining confidence and its starting to translate. We have been practicing much harder and guys are holding each other accountable. We as a staff keep reiterating player lead teams, not coach lead teams are championship teams. We believe they are starting to buy in"
