Coach Bowen Comments
“The Fort Lewis game is big for us on many levels. First of all we need to play well and get a win after last week’s performance, they are a NCAA Division II program, and this is the first of three road games in a row. Bottom line, we need to play well and get the win. I am excited to see how our team responds.”
