QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
-On this weekend: "I'm excited to get things started. Practices have been looking good but it is always a different animal once you officially keep score. Hopefully the gap between practice and match play is not all that big, but that's why we have a preseason in order to hopefully close that gap."
