Hear from Head Coach Geoff Hanson
"I was happy with our overall team effort today. We saw some very promising things from both our group of returners, as well as some outstanding performances from newcomers both men and women. While we missed on a couple of things that would have changed the team scores for the men, it was a positive step to compete down to the wire with a tough team which will compete for a Division II national title. We've got lots to work on, but I feel good about where this team is in October."
NEXT UP
The Saluki women will travel to Champagne, IL for a meet against Illinois next Friday, October 14. Both teams will compete in the MVC Showcase October 21-22.
