COACH GARDNER QUOTE

"I think we left some opportunities on the table with the long duals yesterday. We had some matches where we didn't wrestle our best. But the guys made up for that today and wrestled pretty well. We are proud of the effort overall this weekend. Obviously we are counting on our leaders to lead and our young guys to trust in the process and keep building and keep growing. We are excited to head into Thanksgiving break with the work that we have done."
