QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"We've got a nice streak going. It's slightly frustrating that we didn't get to play on Sunday, because right now we want to get some matches under our belt and get some competitive repetitions. A week or two off may have done us some good, though. Most of the hard work has been done. Now it's just execution based and becoming competitive and tough."
