"I'm happy with the team's performance this week. This is our first year in the American and the competition is strong. I asked the players to play with poise this week and they did that every round. I am grateful to the seniors for leaving our program in a better place and I'm excited for our two freshmen to build on their performances here this week. Go Owls!" Â Â Â
