QUOTABLE
"We want to continue what we started last week," CWU Head Coach
Desi Storey said. "Our bats were alive, pitching looked fantastic, and when we needed guys to step up, they did. I'd like to be a bit more consistent on offense, we had a few zeros strung up in a row, but overall, we found a groove and this week we want to continue it. We've got a good start to GNACs and it's our first chance to pick up wins at home."
