THOUGHTS FROM COACH OLSON 
"We had some key pieces of the puzzle click in this weekend on both genders, with a few more to go still to be where we need to be. On the women's side, Emma and Carly particularly executed well. On the men's side, it was great to see Nick get back to competition, who helped lead freshmen Matt and Sankalp to key breakthrough performances. We still have some work to put it all together but it is starting to take shape."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Cougars head back to UC Riverside for the Highlander Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 15.
