QUOTING HEAD COACH MIKE BARROQUEIRO
"I've heard so many times that adversity has a way of helping groups grow. So much of what we are going through right now reminds me of 2018 and the growing pains we went through as we built something special. I think this group is in exactly the same place. Hats off to Hofstra, they are a great team and showed why today. In the long term, these types of lessons will make us better."
