"Overall, it was a good weekend for the team, great experience to face that caliber of competition.", said coach Wigness on the weekend. "Our goal is to just keep getting better before moving into conference play. We are a couple pitches away and a couple of careless mistakes away from shutting out great teams. Our offense will continue to get better. The win over Indiana was great, we just have to find that level of energy and execution consistently throughout the season. If we can do that, this weekend proved we can play with anyone."
