QUOTABLE
Zeb Roos, sophomore outfielder - "It was an all-around team win. The pitchers where pitching into the system and we were putting together really competitive at-bats all day which made it really hard on them. On the home run, I was thinking just keep it simple, be on time for the fastball, stay in my spot and hit something hard."

Wofford will conclude the series with Xavier with a doubleheader Sunday at King Field beginning at noon with a seven inning contest, followed by a nine inning game. The Terriers will then host UNC Asheville on Tuesday night.
