Thoughts from Coach Abbit
"We have two important matches this weekend at Louisiana Christian. LCU is one game ahead of us in the conference standings, so we have a chance to go get some wins to improve our seeding for the conference tournament in a few weeks. We have played well in the past few matches, so I am hoping we can carry over some momentum to help us get some important wins this weekend."
