“Overall we’re happy getting three wins this weekend,” said Head Coach Jeremiah Tiffin. “There were times where we played great and times we didn’t, but this team is showing that they can battle and that’s going to help us this season. This is the best start we’ve had to a season since I’ve been here and it’s a credit to the team and how bought in they are.”
