COMMENTS FROM COACH JON GIN

• It was great team win [on Saturday]!
• Our seniors have really meant a lot to this program and all the things we have accomplished over the last 4 years. I thought we did a good job of playing with great energy to get our seniors a win on their big night.
• I can't say enough about this senior class. All of them have had a tremendous impact on turning our program around. They have been an incredibly fun group to coach, and I know they are all going to go on to do big things in their next chapter of life.
