Coach Lucas' Comments
"It was great to be back competing today even though it wasn't the result we wanted. Credit to FSU as they were more decisive in the big moments today. We need to be more confident in those close moments and this is an entirely different match. We saw a lot of good to build on, and the guys are going to push hard this week as we prepare for another ACC opponent next weekend. Swoop!"
