Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Definitely ready to get back after it after last Saturday's match. I wasn't happy the last time we came out with how we started and finished the match. A big focus for us this week is about coming out much more energized and with a clear focus. West Alabama has a talented team that is one of the top teams in Division II right now and if we want to have any success tomorrow, that's definitely gonna be needed."
