Men's Head Coach,
Tyler Mies on the Falcons mentality this season,
"Our guys continue to develop and improve every week. We are the aggressors in most matches, and that effort is going to pay off in a big way. The bonds within the team are only getting stronger, and it shows every time we step on the mat."
