QUOTEABLE:
  • "I am really happy and excited about how our guys responded tonight. Albright beat up on us pretty bad at their place the first game and we really challenged the guys to take it personal this time. Outside of a few mental mistakes, I thought that we really competed and fought hard for 40 minutes, even when Albright got the lead up to 10 points in the second half. Our team is really growing, trusting what we are telling them and coming together. Hopefully we can continue to improve during this stretch run of our season."
    - Head Coach Justin Scott
