From the Coach – Head Coach Josey Weaver
"I'm so proud of this team. With our thin numbers we knew that we could not quite overcome a few of the powerhouses in the ASUN this year. However, our men and women fought all weekend long and are walking away with individual conference titles. School records, and a lot of PRs. I'm very excited for what this team is becoming. Our goals have not changed for the future. We plan on fighting our way to the top of the ASUN conference. It was a great day to be a BEAR."
