UNF RESULTS
SAY WHAT...
"Travis played well all week and helped give the team a chance to move on. We are very proud of his accomplishment and are looking forward to see how he performs on the big stage in a couple weeks. The team battled until the end but just made too many small mistakes. We had a nice year but this type of performance has been our theme all year long. We were a young team this season so hopefully we can learn from it and become an even better team next year." -- Head Coach Scott Schroeder
