BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"I am very happy with how our team handled coming back from Thanksgiving break with a few days to train and prepare for this dual. Good feeling for our team and myself to win our first ever ODAC dual. Our performance was strong, but we always find areas that need improvement. Right back to the lab as we prepare for next week's conference match in Lexington. Go Panthers!"
--Head Coach Logan Meister
