Here is what Coach Konya had to say about the men's performances on the day, "I was really happy to see Tony bounce back, in the second round. It shows his resilience... It was a nice opportunity to play on Purdue's venue. It's quite a complex! We now quickly flip our focus to the WHAC Championship"!
Up Next
