As the Mustangs motored to the Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond from dinner, sophomore Rand Walter entertained the team with original songs he sang over his guitar. As Walter strummed the guitar and belted out melodious tunes, his teammates encouraged him to continue and erupted in loud cheers when he finished his set.
