Thoughts from Coach Briscoe

"It was uneventful ending to our season tonight against the Royals. They played a tight game and didn't take a point off with hustle on the court through and through. Our guys have made history though here at ACU completing our inaugural season of men's volleyball. It's an exciting sport that will blossom here as we continue to build on the foundation that has been laid. Character in competition is going to continually drive our program to excellence."
