Quotes from Marshall head coach Ian Walsh
"A culmination of so many pieces came into what we accomplished this weekend. From our administration, support staff and athletic staff … it took the Marshall village to get us to this point. We scored 410 points one year ago today. Tonight we scored 600 points, which was the third-highest in program history.
"We celebrated two seniors who believed in what my vision was for this program when I came in four years ago. Raeleigh (Mooij) and Regan (Raines) had great careers and I'm excited to see what their future holds for each of them.
"In total, we had 32 all-time Top 10 performances. Out of those, we had 13 different athletes make their mark in the record books. We are excited for the future of this program and look forward to building upon our strong foundation."
