QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's match up. They are off to a good start but so are we. I feel like we have had bigger blocks of quality play in practice lately, and hopefully we can insert that into match play. The bottom line is that if we trust our practices and stay stubborn in our competitive mindset, we will improve as a team and be a very tough squad soon."
