"I feel like we had a very good weekend of competition," head coach Chuck Krise said. "Four matches in two days and our guys held up great. Our fitness and intensity were excellent. It was good to get a win this morning, but our team also gained a lot from the Georgia Tech match. Nick Stroumpis and Graham Hardin both competed extremely well and showed a lot of fight. We're gaining ground with every match we play, and we'll stay positive and keep working."
