"I'm happy for our young team. It's a nice streak that we're on," coach Brian Kelly commented, "especially since we are not even close to playing our best polo. We have so much to improve upon and we still play poorly in many spots. It's nice to get "W's" while you're not playing your best. That's a sign of a good team to come."

The Gaels continue playing conference matches through the weekend with a game starting tomorrow, at 9:00 am, against Wagner, followed by a 2:30 pm contest with Marist.
