HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"I'm really pumped for the guys today. They have worked extremely hard this semester and haven't really seen the results. It's exciting to see it start to come together. What's even more exciting is that both rounds we got off to a very slow start, but the guys never let that bother them. We finished really well in both rounds today. This is what we work for everyday and I can't wait to see how they respond tomorrow."
