"This was a tough match against a quality opponent," said head coach Tom Linhart. "I am very proud of our effort and focus. The veterans on the team showed their experience and poise under pressure, and this will help us as we move toward conference play.  Dustin Eshleman is showing nice progress and has played well in his last few matches.  I look for the freshman to continue to mature and contribute."
