Thoughts from Coach Southern

"I honestly thought the men played well. We didn't handle some of the situations during the match the right way and that definitely hurt us. Simply put, OUAZ is a very talented team that outplayed us overall today. We will get back to the drawing board and try to re gain some momentum against Biola next week before heading into the conference tournament. Roll Storm."

Up Next

On Saturday, Arizona Christian will close out the regular season with a 1:00 pm match at former GSAC rival and current NCAA DII Biola.
