Coach Becker on Glass: "Matt is our team leader and I expect him to have the best season of his career this year. We will need for him to be a dependable scorer. Matt started out last season shooting great, but struggled in league play. I expect him to shoot the ball better this year, but we will need him to be more than just a shooter. Along with our other post players, we will need Matt to provide some inside scoring this season."
