NORTHEASTERN STATE COACH SCOTT VARNER
Statement…
"We grew up a great deal the last two tournaments. We competed harder than we have all year. We had a great chance to win these last two tournaments against very strong fields. We are always about winning first and foremost, but I feel good about where we are as a program heading into the winter break. We beat a ton of teams we needed to beat these last two events, and we are well positioned to have a great spring."
