@SASHASCHMID ON FIRST ROAD MATCHES
“I am excited to go on the road and to build on the opening weekend. I thought the team played well against Creighton and Northern Iowa. It was a good starting point for us and we have to continue to keep building. It is always a different challenge to play on the road and I think it is going to be important to have a really good test out there, and I am looking forward to a new challenge and to see how we respond.”
