Quotable
"SoCon duals are important. This sets us up for the SoCon Championship, but also the national tournament. We need to come out firing right away. I told the guys today that we need to make sure we're executing what we're working on in practice. Over the next month and a half, we need to test those areas out as much as possible in these matches, so we're prepared in March." – Coach Kyle Ruschell
 
"No matter who it is, go out there and be offensive. Get to your positions, score and take your opponent out of it early, or as early as we can, and so they're not just hanging around and keeping the matches close. We need to get to more positions, and we need to get them to them fast, no matter if we're a guy that's working on our winning percentage or a guy that's just trying to set himself up for the best seed possible at the conference tournament." – Ruschell
