STANTON'S STATEMENTS
Head Coach Shonda Stanton on Weekend Games:
"We talk all the time about starting fast, playing hard & finishing strong. We have done those first two components pretty well this fall and now look to finish strong as we wrap up our final two games."
"We are really pleased with the progress and strides this group is making so early on in the year, and we appreciate all of our support staff who are committed to seeing our student-athletes excel. It is encouraging to see everyone's commitment to "protect the M" from our strength coaches and athletic training staff to the Buck Harless program as well as our equipment manager and field crew."
