QUOTEWORTHY:
"We played better today and moved up the standings a little. We still made too many mistakes to be able to play as good as we can. We will get back to work on a few things before playing at the Gator Invitational. It was a good week for Travis (Trace) and a nice way for him to start the spring." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
