Ryan Quamme commented, "We got the opportunity to play a lot of our women, and I think we improved from Wednesday which is what we asked them to do."Â He added, "We changed a few of our tactics and the women responded well."
The Warhawks (2-1-0) will play their next game against North Central College at home on Sunday at 3 pm. When Quamme was asked about what to expect he stated, "We weren't thrilled with the way we played them last season, so I think we will be focused and ready to go."
