QUOTABLES
Head Coach Brett Halter… "Today was a tune up. This was a good opportunity for our team to progress forward and they did that today. It was fun to see everyone compete. They're applying the messages that we've been discussing every day and you can see the work carrying over from practice. So that's really all we can ask, it was a good day for the Tigers."
