Assistant Coach Bruce Swihart had the following comment about the evening, "The thing that impressed me most about the kid's effort this week was that we continued to fight in the third period.  We either won matches or improved the score in the third period and that is a tribute to our kids."

The Indians will wrestle in Oberlin on Thursday, February 2nd.
