It's always nice to win at home. The guys are looking really good right now. Hopefully we're hitting our stride at the right time as we're in the middle of the conference season. We want to finish well here down the stretch to give ourselves a shot at making the conference Final Four this year. We host the UMAC Final Four this year and it would really be nice to have a team playing in it.

Upper Iowa is a very good team. They're very physical, very athletic at every position. Our hearts were there and the effort was there, we just didn't have the depth to hang with them.

The biggest variable was the turf. On grass, passes that would be right at our feet scooted away from us.
