Coach Zelenock on the First Day of FAU Invitational
    "We are okay with going 1-1 on the first day of a competitive tournament. The team was relentless in the comeback against Bethune-Cookman and that's good to see prior to Southern         Conference play. Our match against FAU will help us continue to learn what we need to work on in the days leading up to conference matches. We will hope to pick up a win tomorrow morning and come home on a positive note."
