COACHES CORNER
Thoughts on Santa Barbara:
"This is going to be a really tough match. [Santa Barbara] is already off to a good start this year. They are going to be a really tough opponent, but it is going to be a really close match and I think we have a shot to win." — Pablo Pires de Almeida

Thoughts on Cal Poly:
"My guys are going to be up against a Cal Poly that's in a rebuilding year. The Mustangs will come out hard with a lot of energy. If we can come out with that same energy against the Mustangs we have a shot. We'll have to be ready for anything." — Pablo Pires de Almeida
