HEAD COACH JAY JONES ON THE TEAM'S PERFORMANCE
• "I am very proud to take our team on our first overnight trip in two years and a week. It's been great for team building this weekend and hope to continue to build off of it."
• "We had a chance to go 4-0 today. Unfortunately, we had one of our key starters not make weight and it really hurt us in our two close matchups. However, we showed some resiliency in our last match, defeating a tough Scranton team who had four NCAA Mideast Regionally-ranked guys. It came down to heavyweight and
Travis Manick pulled it out for us."
• "Freshman
Michael Pestana continues to develop in our lineup and had a great day, which included a key technical fall over Scranton."
