Head coach Sean Peters praised both teams for their performances. "The Wayne State and Davenport meet featured a lot of excellent performances all around," he said. "I commend our opponents for a very strong showing, and the Warriors were challenged in many areas. I was very delighted with how we responded to those challenges, and excited about the many strong performances the Warriors put up tonight."
