ABOUT THE COACHES: Rob Edmisson is in his second season as OCU head coach. Edmisson has a 337-122 record in 16 seasons as a head coach. He coached the Stars to a 32-3 record and the NAIA quarterfinals in 2005-06.

QUOTABLE: ?I thought our kids played to the scoreboard. The second half we didn?t play with enthusiasm. There are games we play where we have to create our own intensity. When we play Houston Baptist or Union, we may not be able to flip that switch.? ? Edmisson on his team?s performance in the first meeting this season
