REACTION FROM COACH MATT HELSEL
• On bouncing back for the team's first win: "The men were very sharp. Our opponents aren't as bad as the scores might indicate. I was very impressed with the focused, business-like performance today. That's the type of showing I expect to see from them every time out the door."
