Quotable
"Real gutsy wins today. We played back to back, and I thought Tusculum and Austin Peay brought their 'a games'. We were in some tough moments, but each pair stuck together, communicated well and gutted it out. Really proud of our resilience and composure today." – Coach Darin van Horn on the day's sweeps
