QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"It was a very gritty win in some cold, rough conditions. We showed some great toughness as a team in order to take care of business, get a win and move on. We are definitely growing into the identity that we want for this team and program. I am looking forward to a day's practice tomorrow and then a good battle against a tough College of Charleston team on Tuesday."
