Quotable
Head coach
Ashley Fisher on this weekend….
"This is an important time for our program, and it's always been what I call moving month. We play a lot of matches in March and position ourselves to be peaking in April/May. The guys have been doing a great job of committing and investing in smart, aggressive game styles, and Liberty is another opportunity to do that."
