MATCH NOTES & QUOTES 
"It was great seeing the guys compete in team dual matches. We play mostly individual tournaments in the fall so this was a fun day for everyone and I'm happy for us to start the year 2-0. We have a tough individual tournament coming up at Army in October so we will turn our attention to that event."
- Head Coach Chris Leicht
