As the regular season comes to an end for the Panthers, Coach DeAndre'a Woods said "We had a lot of great performances today. We are right where we need to be as a program to make an impact in the SCIAC team scoring two weeks from now. Just like we (the coaching staff) told our student-athletes, they should be confident and proud of what we've done this regular season. We are excited to see what happens at Conference Championships."

The men and women's teams will be back at Occidental College for the SCIAC Championships on April 27-28.
