Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Besides coming out a little flat to start, the boys did a great job today. Same thing from the girls' match yesterday. It's always tough to have three weeks off and play a strong opponent with a lot on the line early. I thought the boys handled the moment well and beat a very strong Union team today. They were definitely well-versed on what we were going to do and had a good plan. I am very proud of the way the boys handled the big moments and played very solid when they needed to. Now we got to rest up and get ready for another tough match this afternoon."
