Head Coach Thomas DeWitt: "We came into this match expecting to get a team win, and I thought our guys did what they needed to do. I thought we were a little sloppy in places, but the guys focused when they needed to and we were able to get the sweep at home. I'm excited to see Cayden pick up his first KCAC victory. He's going to be a good player for us, and we'll build on this. As a whole, the team will need to be sharper tomorrow, but I think we largely escaped today without exacerbating injuries. Quick turnaround, but we're ready for it."

 

 

The win moves the Men to 3-8 (1-2 KCAC). They will play again tomorrow at home in a rescheduled match vs Evangel.
