THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Jaco Keyser
- On this weekend's matches: "We had a slow start to it, but overall a great weekend for us. Hopefully, we can build off this and just keep on like the good teams do as we move towards Conference Championships. I feel like the ceiling is so high, and this is a compliment to the team. I don't feel like we're close to maximizing potential, but having said that, we are moving in the right direction."
