OVERALL THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH JERRY BOLAND

Overall thoughts on the team's performances.

"One of the gutsiest performances I've seen from any team that I've coached. We were down four starters and had zero 149's available. Our guys that needed to get bonus points did (Vogelbacher, Giampietro, and Flannery). Then Micheli clinches it with a tech fall. I'm proud of them. They did what they needed to do."

What do you think was the turning point in this dual?

"I'd have to say the turning point was Bryce's win. We just lost a tough one at Hwt and he got one back for us with a huge win, getting a takedown late in the match. Big time win there. Big time!"

Any key takeaways from this dual?

"The hard work our guys put in showed tonight. We pushed the pace and made things happen. Often times things work in your favor when you wrestle that way and tonight it did for us."

What are you looking forward to in the West Liberty Duals?

"We definitely will take advantage of the two weeks we have to get ready. Our guys will get a chance to recover and hopefully get back to full strength in our lineup. We will have an opportunity to battle one of the top teams in Division II as well as some region teams we don't usually see. So it will be fun."
