QUOTING COACH DECKER

Today, we played Xavier lacrosse. We didn't get the win but we definitely built the next block in our foundation. We grew as a team and we played as a team. We did the work. I'm very proud of this group and I'm looking forward to taking on Eastern Michigan back home on Victory Parkway this weekend.
