You guys just won your 20th game of the season and are 13-1 in conference. How has it been being a part of such a successful season?

Dacanay: Everything is so much better with this team this year because we play so well together, and when we’re on, we’re on.

Austin: It’s amazing. Our team is pretty young, which is remarkable. We thought we’d have trouble with that right away, but everybody on our team is a go-getter.

Krage: It’s been awesome. It’s an awesome environment no matter what role you have in it.

Kinley: It’s really cool to come in as a freshman to a team like this. It’s been good, and I hope we can keep it up.
