"Overall, it was good," head coach Michael Leonard said. "We had a couple guys start out slow, but it was good to see them put themselves together and get their momentum back after being down a little bit. We had some other guys that took control of their match and stayed on top of their opponents which was a positive sign."  
 
With the win, the Phoenix improves to 6-5 on the season. Hampton falls to 2-5 with the loss.
