THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH JERRY BOLAND
Thoughts on tonight's match?
- "We wrestled extremely well tonight. We pushed the pace in every match. We won matches in the third period. We pushed for bonus points when we needed to. I couldn't be more proud of our effort tonight."
- "We all did our jobs tonight. I could point out everyone. It was nice to see our freshmen come up big tonight. Aidan pulls out another third period win and Avery pulls through with a big pin. Johnny picking up a fall wrestling up a weight is a huge testament to the work he's putting in. I'm just proud of all these guys."
- "Friday will be a big test for us. But I know our guys are up for it. Our last home match of the season and the Battle for the Rupp Cup at stake. It's definitely exciting to conclude the regular season at home."
UP NEXT
The Marauders host their last dual of the season on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. against Franklin and Marshall.
