QUOTABLES | HEAD COACH NATE WALTERS"Both teams displayed some classic early season emotions. Across the board we were solid, but certainly have some work to do. We knew we had a very tough opponent tonight, but I was very pleased in our efforts. We raced every race, were very high energy, and because of that learned a lot on what to do next!"
