"Today was an improvement from yesterday," said head coach David Sheets. "However, we have to recognize if we want to be competitive in our conference (at the highest level), the entire team has to be able to get up and race against every program, every weekend we compete. To expect less will not help us accomplish our goals."
The Dukes return to action on Friday, Nov. 20 as they compete in the three-day Magnus Cup Invitational at Cleveland State.
