THE ROCKHILL REPORT

"We had to fight hard, in tough conditions, for today's win as Carthage certainly didn't give it to us", stated Coach Rockhill. "I hope this match gave us the additional experience we will need to perform well against St. Mary's tomorrow."

"I was happy for Vinz and Tobi, who both produced two wins on the day", said Rockhill. "Vinz was able to make some key adjustments to his game which helped him tremendously and Tobi, who was today's Most Impactful Player, continues to be solid wherever in the lineup he is asked to play."
