QUOTE
"It was a productive opening weekend for us, but we're leaving Texas a little unsatisfied from an uneven performance today against a very good Cal Poly team. We're going to work this week to raise our level throughout the lineup and improve at competitive consistency. I am very proud of our players for being exceptionally well prepared to compete throughout the weekend. We're looking forward to getting back to the process this week and preparing to be great in California six days from now." -Head Coach Wayne Holly
