WARRIOR OF THE MATCH
Kyle Murray, 152 pounds - Murray came back from a 7-1 deficit to win his match 9-8. "We preach to these guys to work hard, stay in the match and win it in the third period. He (Kyle) did that. He kept it close, kept chipping away and won it in the third." — Watchung Hills head coach Dan Smith
COACH'S TAKE
"I didn't think it would be that bad. I thought we had the advantage in a bunch of weight classes. They tried to shuffle the lineup a little bit to stay away from some of our better guys, but we are pretty solid throughout so there is not much room to go. The guys they tried to move away from, we won those matches." — Watchung Hills head coach Dan Smith
UP NEXT—The Warriors will travel to North Hunterdon for a quad meet with Hillsborough and Franklin on Saturday, 10 a.m.
