Coach Tanoue: "The Conference Championship match is always an exciting and difficult challenge and I felt that our team put forth some really great performances and represented well over the weekend. Outside of the shooting aspects we had some health related issues that the team was managing and considering everything I think everyone performed very well and did everything that they could have done. With one more competition to go until the qualifier on February 17 we are in the final push of the season as we head to Cambridge to compete with MIT this coming weekend."
