Here is what Coach Konya had to say about the men's performances today, "Tony and Matt both played well today, which was nice to see after a challenging first day. They'll be the anchors as it relates to the team, but each of our starters will need to work hard in the off-season if we're going to be more consistent. We showed a couple of weeks ago what we are capable of when each plays to their potential, which was a nice team win. We just need to post those numbers more consistently. Addressing the things that lead to the consistency will need to be a big part of their off-season work."
