POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Kelly Anderson
"The scoreboard didn't reflect the effort that our team put forth today. I was really happy with how our top four battled as they fought their hearts out and competed excellently, which put us within touching distance of a win until the end. If we can carry over the momentum of today into tomorrow and get some good recovery and rest tonight, we will be in for an exciting evening at Seton Hall and we are looking forward to it!"
