Coach's Corner
Head Coach Dante Calabria said "Tonight was an incredible game by both teams. They played extremely hard and we matched the intensity the entire way. My hat goes off to Micah who played an incredible game with a heavy heart, and showed unbelievable character. We are going to celebrate this win as it was a big conference win, but Monday we are going to get right back at it and get ready for Southeastern on Thursday night."
