The loss in that game hit the guys pretty well. I'm not really used to the rivalry thing, but it kind of hurt me, as well. We really had to come together after that game.

I told my guys coming into the game that it's a rivalry game and don't take anything for granted. (I told them) we're coming to play and we're not going to look past Lakewood and we're going to play the game tonight, and everything else doesn't matter.

It feels great, especially against Vermont. I know it's a pretty big rivalry, so I'm glad we got the win.

I was hoping that we would come back tomorrow morning without loss and looking to build from there and move on.

It's a pretty big rivalry. We're both returning All-Americans. We're both the top lightweights. It's always a good match when we wrestle.

[That] was obviously a disappointing loss to everybody after getting off to a 5-0 start.
