Co-Head Coach Chris Brandi on the Match
“It was a good match from both teams,” co-head coach Chris Brandi said. “We needed to win another dual match and gain a little confidence going into the SEC Tournament. I think the guys took care of business and were able to work on one or two things each that we think will carry over into next week.”
