Coach Burgess' Thoughts
"I'm really proud of how we bounced back to win against Austin Peay this morning after a frustrating loss last night. They are always a top 150 RPI team so that's a good win for us. We played well against a good Clemson tonight. We had chances to take the first and third set, but just couldn't hang on. We're going to enjoy Sunday off, but I'm already excited to get back in the gym on Monday and keep building!"
