Head coach Matt Nantais
“This weekend was a long, grueling event—64 Baker games over two days. The top four teams qualify for the national championships to meet the other 12 teams that have qualified from across the country. This marks the sixth straight year that we have qualified for this championship.”
“I did not make the best choices on ball surface during the first 16 games, which put us quite a bit behind the field early. However, when we came back for the second block, the lanes set up much better for us and the team did a great job adjusting and climbing back up in the standings.”
“As a coach, it’s my job to make sure they are put in the best position to be successful on the lanes. Despite the early challenges, the team responded well and continued to compete.”
“Overall, the weekend was a success and we extended our season into the postseason. Now we turn our focus to Conference next week, and we will be ready to go.”
