Quotable
"I think it's the expectation, right? We expect to win conference as a team and as individuals. When you do that, you get multiple qualifiers. It's mainly the expectation from the alumni all the way down to the individuals when we recruit them of what we expect is we want to be the best on and off the mat." – Coach Kyle Ruschell on the sustained success for the program
 
"We're never satisfied. We want to get all 10. There were six teams that did that this year, but taking your whole squad is a big deal." – Ruschell on the program's history of multiple qualifiers
