"We had a good day, I was really pleased with their effort," Hatcher said. "Our execution level is picking up. I think we have a little better attitude this week, I think we have a bad case of the wants back about us. Last Saturday is over and we're moving forward."
 
Samford enters this week with a record of 3-3 overall and 1-2 in Southern Conference play. Western Carolina is currently 4-2 overall and 2-1 in league games.

"We've traveled well and hopefully we'll continue to do so," Hatcher said. "Everything in this conference is difficult and it makes it even more difficult when you go on the road. We're excited about the opportunity to get back out and play and try to redeem ourselves this weekend."
