COMMENTS FROM HEAD COACH MATT SPEAR
We are eager to continue the momentum from Saturday's exciting win on the road. It's important to put on a good show with a hungry mentality, collective effort, and play-making at both ends of the field.
Furman got off to the good start with the win at Ohio State, so we know they are very capable despite dropping their last two matches.
