Coach President commented on the Bulldogs' wins saying, ""We went out and did our job! And we as a coaching staff couldn't have asked for anything better. I know we are still getting better every day and that's what we want to do. We haven't hit our peak as yet and we still have the fire and energy! We are excited to take on Bethel College on Monday!"
The Bulldog men are now 8-1 on the season and a perfect 5-0 in KCAC play while the women are 6-3 overall, and 3-1 in conference matches. It's a short turnaround for the Bulldogs as they will host the Bethel College Threshers on Monday at 3:30 pm in a match that was originally scheduled for last week, but was postponed because of the weather.
