Aaron played very well in California, going 3-0 against his competition. It would be a continual boost for us if Aaron is able to maintain high level of play and stay mentally tough.

We did not have senior Josh Bruce-Black this past weekend, which hurt us in the 4-6 positions. We'll need him back and the other guys in that part of the lineup playing better for the University Athletic Association Championships.

We came away proving we can beat a top 15 caliber team on any given day having brought our best game, while at the same time none of the wins against nationally ranked or University Athletic Association teams will come easy.

We've done something good to get to the quarterfinals, but it's nothing. If the competition ends here (for us), then we've done nothing. It's not very important that we're here. We'll see later.

We push each other. There's good competition between us.

Bring it on. I'm not afraid of competition and I'm sure they're not either. It's only going to make us better.
