Comment from Coach Hunt on today's meet:
"We've never lacked desire, and try, and today was no different," said Malone head coach
Russ Hunt. "That said, you're not going to go into every meet with your best lineup, and it's up to us to overcome those sorts of challenges. A huge credit to Baldwin Wallace, and their seniors today, who brought a great deal of energy, that we couldn't quite match."
Malone will host their final home meet of the season, next Saturday, January 23 at 5:00 p.m. against GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) members Saginaw Valley State University (MI).
