Quote:
"We had a tremendous road trip to Georgia in picking up two wins against Covenant and Berry. They are two extremely tough teams and we feel fortunate to get the wins. Also, playing them back to back in less than 24 hours was challenging, but the team really wanted a tough mental test, so I set this up for them.
We can get a little bit of rest now and be right back at it next week against the #1 team in the country on Wednesday, in Campbellsville University, then the Wittenberg Classic next weekend."
-Head Coach Chad Mayes
Team Record:
AU moves to 9-2 with the victory.
Next Up:
The Eagles will take a break but will be back on the road to play against #1 Campbellsvile on Dec 15 at 6PM.
