"I like the fight the guys showed tonight and they were able to disrupt a lot of what NC Wesleyan was trying to do," said head coach Marshall Tague. Credit NC Wesleyan though as they adjusted throughout the game to counter what we did, but having 22 assists tonight was a great thing to find the open player. The guys are really positive going into the break and ready to come back and fight so we just have to embrace the process and trust what we're doing every day.
