Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Very happy to get W and clinch the conference championship today. Winning a conference title isn't easy and doing it five straight times is even harder. We have been fortunate to win the last five but you never want to take any of them for granted. The boys have put in a lot of work to get to this point and should enjoy the moment. Like always though, we will enjoy it but need to get right back to work as we prepare for a tough test on Wednesday."
Keiser will face No. 3 Cardinal Stritch on Wednesday, Mar. 4 in Orlando, Fla. The match is set for 10:30 a.m.
