Head Coach Kent DeMars
“That was a great win. It was terrific. We have to build on this now. Coming off a loss to Clemson, it was tough. I didn’t know how they would respond. We have been close all year. Sometimes that breaks you up, hurts you mentally. I challenged our seniors to fire up the team. I didn’t know if we could beat them [Ole Miss], but I knew we could play with them. We needed to turn our momentum around and we did that tonight.”
“I don’t mind giving Ole Miss their first conference loss of the season. They’ve beaten us quite a bit lately.”
Carl Wermee
“This is definitely my biggest win ever since being at South Carolina. It was fun to beat Ole Miss because they have three Swedes on their roster (as does South Carolina). For us (Swedes), this match was more about pride and bragging rights. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they were ranked third in the country.”
Tom Eklund
“It feels very good to win a match of this magnitude. My opponent today has beaten me three times earlier to it feels great to get a win against him.”
