Coach's Corner
Head Coach Mat Dunn said, "It was great to close out the conference championship today as Warner put up a great fight. We came out a little slow as the emotions of senior day may have gotten to us. This is a great group of seniors, as they've only lost two conference games in their career. We have achieved our first goal of winning the regular season and now we turn our focus to the conference tournament championship.
 
Up Next
The Seahawks conclude regular season play in one week, when they travel to Webber International for a 3:00 p.m. kickoff.
