- "Today felt like a MAAC Championship evening session, with both teams bringing a ton of energy. The Men continue to find a way to fight and claw without diving which I couldn't be prouder of that effort. The women went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the MAAC. While we didn't come out with the victory, we had many best times and high scores that gives us the confidence to build off of the rest of the way."
