COACH GARDNER QUOTE
"We saw quality guys from all over the country that we normally wouldn't see until the NCAA Regional and National Tournaments. I am happy with the things we learned from this event and I was happy with our improvement. This is a two day tournament with two days of weigh-ins so that is another factor that we wanted the guys to experience. Overall, it was a tough tournament. We got what we wanted out of the trip."

The Eagles will travel to Springfield, Mo., for the Drury University Dual January 10.
