From Head Coach Tayo Bailey-Duvall
"Today was a good day. After learning of our national ranking this week in the top 75, we stayed focused and motivated to continue playing at the level we needed to win against a solid Austin Peay team. I am happy about the way we are competing on every court and not letting small challenges derail us. Looking forward to continuing this momentum in the upcoming two matches."
