Coach Vande Streek said, "Well, I think the 400th win just means I've been here a long time and we've had a lot of really good players. You know, we're just trying to focus on the conference season. We're pretty excited to get going and just a nail biter last night, went right to the end. We just made a couple more plays than they did."
Star of the game Tony Canonie emphasized, "It's super exciting, especially for coach and it was good to get us off to a 1 and 0 start in the conference season, especially at Trine, who's a tough team to beat especially at their home place. And we're really excited for coach to get his 400th win, so congrats to him on that."
