COACH'S THOUGHTS
"I thought our guys started off a little slow in the semis against Liberty, didn't really create a lot of opportunities to score and were a bit tentative," said Head Coach Nate Yetzer. "Once we opened up and wrestled like we are capable, we started having a lot of success and it showed in the last two dual meets. Very proud of the fact we finished strong, says a lot about these guys. All the guys who came were team players."

BACK ON THE MAT
Yetzer's wrestlers will be back in action Thursday, Jan. 18, at Averett University. The first-ever meeting between the two schools is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. in Danville, Virginia.
