Head Coach Matt Nantais

"Today brought a bit of frustration on the lanes. With teams playing all over the place, the conditions became nearly impossible by the end of the day. On the positive side, our group stayed composed, pushed through the challenges, and still came away with the win. I'm very proud of how they competed this weekend. Now it's back to campus to focus on cleaning up our spare shooting before the next event."

NEXT UP
The Bulldogs will hit the lanes again on Oct. 24-26 as the travel to Orlando, Fla., to compete in the Destination Orlando event, hosted by Sacred Heart.
