“I’m humbled and honored to pick up win number 100 in my career, and I’m thankful they’ve all been at Morningside, as this place means a lot to me. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by many good people here and this isn’t possible without our student-athletes’ commitment and hard work. While wins are nice, the journey behind these matches, with these people, is what makes moments like this so special. I look forward to what’s yet to come for this team this year and our program overall as we continue ahead,” Coach Struck said.
