"I'm proud of our performance tonight. Playing on the second day of class with a different routine and coming off a long weekend are challenges I was excited for as a group. I love the maturity and consistency we played with tonight. We look forward to three days of training and prep for a big matchup with Notre Dame. I'm excited to see the city show up and help us battle on Saturday."
