First Take
"I think we saw the areas that we've been working on have success. Got a lot of rides, turns and pins...things we've been working on all summer and pre-season. We're going to need those bonus points come March. Our guys were aggressive right off the rip with a lot of guys shooting really early in matches." – Coach Kyle Ruschell
