Coach Tanoue: "We certainly dealt with some ups and downs this past weekend, but I was very proud with how the team responded on Sunday after a challenging day on Saturday. We saw a lot of really great shooting and had several season and career bests on Sunday which is an exciting thing to see as we head into the last weekend of the fall portion of the season. We have a great opportunity to travel to El Paso this coming weekend and finish the fall semester off strong and I am confident our team will go out and do just that."
