WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
"It was a challenging Fall," said coach Velez. "After losing four guys like we did, who had played nearly every tournament for two years, we needed to find out who would step up. I think we really found that out this Fall and I am excited for the Spring."
ON THE HORIZON:
Bucs finish up the fall season and will look foward to the Spring season.
