    Dresser sounds off
    “It's always fun to beat your in-state rival. We had mostly good performances today. We were probably a little flat in a couple of weight classes, but there's an obvious difference. Where we're at today, we just have to make sure we keep it consistent all the way through the end of March. Not just here but everywhere, we've got to widen the gap where we can widen the gap, and we have to be ready for some really good teams here in the next couple of weeks.”
