Rob Phenicie Post Game Quotes
"Congratulations to coach Hill and the Weber State Wildcats for getting a share of the Big Sky championship. They have a great program. I told coach Hill before the game that you are what we want to look and be like. Weber State played well. They didn't do anything that surprised us. We just didn't execute and we had some poor starting field position."
