Comments from Head Coach Shawn Nelson
"This time of the year is always rough for everybody with injuries… I don't know if anybody has their full lineup coming. It is going to be whoever is the healthiest this weekend." When asked about what sets his team apart, Nelson responded "I think the older group was at a plateau and this younger group is hungry. They come into the room with a purpose and it is making the older group step up."
