Thoughts from Coach Phil Carlisle
"Really proud of the guys for taking care of business today. OUAZ was flying high after their win yesterday so we knew we were going to get their best shot today, but our guys weathered the storm early and closed out matches when we got the chance. It's been a long season, but an incredible one, and now it all comes down to one match tomorrow. Our guys have worked hard for this opportunity and we're excited to see if we can finish the job."
