WHAT'S THE WORD?

Head coach Matt Sherman – "I thought the effort and physicality were definitely positives. I thought we played hard and physical, and that's something that is always important to us. We always want to be the team that wins everything that takes no talent. I think the road gets a lot rockier moving forward, starting with a tough Iona team. There are certainly areas we need to be more clinical if we want to be successful, starting with our discipline."
Senior Luke Heun – "It was great getting back into it. We had a lot of guys in new positions who stepped up tonight."
Junior Jon Kim – "The team played really well together. We worked through our present situational objectives and held our shape nicely. Setting the record is pretty cool, and the guys who scored set me up in a position to succeed."
