Coach
Curt Speerschneider ""This match was the end of a challenging two weeks of some tough matches and a lot of travel.  It was good to give two of our seniors fighting some nagging injuries the day off and the rest of the team did a good job taking care of business.  We have a little breather next weekend before we're back at it going into April."
