"Nevada played well tonight and we were happy to get a win against them. We are getting better each time we play and that is something that we are happy with. Just like the match with Weber St we were able to execute some of the things that we worked on in practice this week and that is encouraging. Our experienced players Zach and Wes lead from the top of the line up and that is something that makes us a tough team to play."
