The guys know the importance of this weekend. I talked to them a little bit this morning. We're 0-2 in the Big Ten Conference and that's not what we want. We gotta start things off on the right foot tomorrow night.

I think that's the other adjustment as a freshman, you have a tough match and you get up for that match and then the next three or four matches you don't have that caliber of competition. In college, any match you step on the match you, always need to be ready to go.
