THEY SAID IT
SEU Head Coach Todd Ohlmeyer on the Hilltoppers' sixth-place finish …
"It was a pretty disappointing week for us. We just need to minimize our mistakes. We are close and have the potential but need to have our execution match our effort. Ben [Constancio] had another solid outing. Our freshmen are doing an outstanding job and are providing us with some great depth for this year and the future."
