QUOTE

"I think that the end result of this game was pretty disappointing given how we came out in the onset of the game. I think we learned about some of the opportunities we cant give away in our defensive third, especially when playing such a quality opponent. Hopefully heading into the MAAC we can take away some of the strong pieces from our non-conference schedule and move forward." - Head coach Leigh Howard
