WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

"We needed to take care of business tonight to put ourselves in the best possible position for seeding and we were able to take care of that with tonight's win. It was also great because we were able to do it with all our seniors playing. They've been a great group of individuals on and off the court and they've been instrumental in what we've been building here at Salve, prioritizing team culture, working hard to maximize their individual talents, while the six of them average a 3.75 GPA in the classroom. They are role models, and I can't wait to see them succeed in the next chapter of their lives!" - head coach Sebastian Noordzy.
