"Overall, a great opening weekend to kick off the year," said Lasprilla. "[I'm] happy to go 3-0 for the tournament. The team played well, but we still have a lot of areas that we can improve upon. A big thanks to Army for a great tournament. We are looking forward to getting back to work, in Paradise, this week. We will be ready for the home opener against FGCU on Saturday."
