HEAD COACH AQUILES MONTOYA SAID
"An incredible ending to an incredible year at home. For our seniors and our incredible fans. So happy that we got involvement from all of our Seniors to contribute to this win, and we are so lucky to have so many contributing.
"We are excited to finish the last stretch on the road, and we know that we control our destiny to make the conference tournament. A big emphasis for us is to start better against a great Davis team, as we were not proud of our performance against them last time. Thank you to all the fans that spent their evenings supporting us, but we hope to still get their support from afar."
