FAULCONER TALK
"Coming off a successful opening weekend is always a good feeling, but we know for us to achieve our goals we have to be ready to move on quickly to the next challenge. We have had the opportunity to identify what we did well and work on areas of improvement. The key now will be can we make those adjustments and continue to push our level of play to a higher level. I have known both Coach Purcell at Presbyterian and Coach Terrill at Charleston Southern for a long time and I know they will have their respective teams well prepared to play. Our team has the chance to keep the positive momentum going and we look forward to getting back on the field Friday." -- Head coach Eric Faulconer
