QUOTABLES
Truman Head Coach Jerod Simek
"The 'Dogs put up a fight and went after every points tonight. The girls were able to hold off McKendree for third with a great final session while the men pushed through, but fell short in their aim for UMSL and fifth place. Nikki and myself were very satisfied with our GLVC performances and the season thus far."
