ACCORDING TO COACH NICKERSON
Â
"I thought it was a good dual and we wrestled well. Anytime you come away with a win you want to feel good about it, but particularly I was happy about how we wrestled and how we competed. Really seeing guys like Baylor Fernandez get tough at the end of a match and beat a ranked opponent. We are a very young team and it's nice to see the progress being made."
