Opening Statement:
“I told our team in the locker room after the game that I was really proud of them for this win, but I was also really proud of them this week. I thought we had a great week. I thought we had great focus, great practices, their mindset was exactly where it needed to be, and we came out and took care of business. I’m glad that we were able to do that on Senior Day, and our seniors got to go out on a really high note. I’m proud of this team.”
