"I am happy with the effort that our guys showed this weekend. We hung in there with some of the top teams in the country in NCAA Division 1 and Division 2 (NC State, UNC, App St, Citadel, UCF, Newberry, UNC Pembroke, Limestone, Old Dominion, and VMI). It was a great opportunity for our young team to get valuable experience against top level competition. Each one of our starters walked away with a victory over a D1 opponent. I'm very happy with the results. I feel as though Griswold would have had a good shot at placing 3rd if he wouldn't have suffered an injury."
