?I thought this was a pretty good performance and a great field,? said head coach Brian Craig. ?I was particularly proud of Andy Winings and Dan Woltman who carried the load. If we can get some of these older guys going, I think we have a chance to be a pretty good team this year. This was a very admirable performance, but obviously we have a little way to go to catch the best teams out there.?

The Wildcats return to action Oct. 10-11 when they co-host the Gary Koch Intercollegiate in Tampa, Fla., along with the University of Florida.
