"It was a good weekend for us," stated second-year head coach John Stutzman. "We did a lot of great things and the guys responded after a tough loss to Gardner Webb. Beating Appalachian State the way we did, showed me that this team has a lot of fight in them. Pulling (Brett) Perry out of redshirt provided a huge spark for the team. We are a long ways from where we need to be but starting the year 3-1 is something that we can build on."
