Coach Casey O'Connor gave an evaluation on the tournament team. He stated, "Eleven of our 14 wrestlers placed in the top five at the tournament. It allowed us to see muliple teams from our region as well as to give us an indication of our standings at each weight class. We certainly realize there are some areas of improvement to be addressed before the end of February. We have some injuries which we will evaluate next week, which might alter the lineup. We have a week to make corrections and get ourselves mentally and physically prepared for the Harrisburg Quadrangulaar nex Saturday."
