On gathering 4 wins in 9 days: "We are exhausted. It's been an amazing run, the guys feel like we have to win out and they are doing a great job."
On the 2019 senior class: "I am super proud of all those guys obviously. I have not looked at it too closely, you have to think someone like Jorge Navarro probably has had the best winning career of any player. I am not sure if we have had a better four year run in our programs history. Connor is having a good year, David is doing what he is doing. I am super proud of all of them."
 
On preparing for Concordia: "We are going to leave that one for Saturday. We need to get rested, get away from it a little bit, heal up because right now we are running on fumes."
