CARLIN'S COURSE OF THOUGHT
"This weekend is about getting our last quality prep before we start SoCon play.  The best things about our play today were our energy and our focus.  We consistently took quality swings at their defense which kept the pressure on them.  Our offensive distribution needs to be more balanced so that will be a focus heading into our match with Wilmington."

UPCOMING
The Spartans will close out the tournament with a match against host, UNC Wilmington tonight at 5:30 p.m.
