QUOTE
Joey Scrivano on the match…
Credit to the Jayhawks. They competed really hard and brought the energy. For us, we definitely didn’t play our best match. Our mindset wasn’t where it needs to be. Ultimately we’ll learn from it. We’ll have a couple of good weeks of training and get ready for the NCAAs. This team has earned a spot in the field, and that’s always a big deal. We’re going to get back, get our minds right and be ready to play in the postseason.

UP NEXT
The Bears now await their fate in the NCAA Tournament. The selection show is scheduled for Monday, March 2 and 5:30 p.m. CT. It will be streamed on ncaa.com.
