Sul Ross State Head Coach Bailey Guffin
"We learned a lot about ourselves this weekend against two top teams. That's going to push us even further this week in training. We know Adams State and Jamestown will be doing the same, so we're excited for another good weekend of games.  If we know anything about this group, it's that two games won't define the rest of our season. We have a long way to go and based off some things we saw this weekend, we're just getting started."
