against coaching concerned entertainment fine gaining individual kids match meets win work
As a coaching staff, we're going to be doing more individual work this semester. The dual meets are fine and we want to win them, but I'm more concerned about getting our kids into the tournaments. Dual meets are preparation and entertainment and like our match against Brown, we'll use them for gaining experience.

It was a back and forth match-up. D'Amico came through for us. I wouldn't say that we reached a turning point after that win, but we raised our intensity level.

I want our young guys to keep wrestling aggressively. They just have to start minimizing their mistakes and using their heads along with instinct to make the right decisions and win the match.
continue improve individual results team work
We have to continue to improve individually. If that results in a team win, then that's great, but if not we have to just continue to work on the individual level.

Well, he didn't have a good tournament. We think he has potential for All-American and he needed to be exposed to the best competition.

Being young is getting pretty tough for us. If we were any younger, we'd be feeding formula to these kids.
