MEET NOTES AND QUOTES

"We had a lot of good efforts today. I'm excited about where we are, we're been putting in a lot of hard work early in the season. I think they got up and raced well. Fordham is a tough team and we knew it was going to be a challenge. We gave them a good run and I'm excited for the opportunity to take what we learned today and work on it in practice next week."
