Coach Rincon Quote
"It will be the first time we host an event for this group of guys and me personally. It's exciting. They guys are looking forward to playing in front of their friends and peers as they realize this is a great thing to host an event. I know the guys are really looking forward to it. Wofford has a bunch of good competitors and are very well coached. We want to make this into a rivalry and we want to play well against them.
