Coach Matt Moore's Comments
I was really proud of our fight. Bethel is a really solid NAIA program. They are extremely tough up and down the lineup. We made solid gains from our scores last year. Progress continues to be made. This was a great match as we prepare for Senior Day and the conference tournament.
