Quoting the Seawolves
Head coach Chuck Priore
"At the end of the day Towson deserved to win the game. They made more plays when it counted. We need to play better on offense. We need to play better in certain situation on defense. It is always a team loss."

WR Ray Bolden
On his two touchdown catches…
"The story for us all year has been either we come out slow and pick it up in the second half or - as we showed today - we come out fast and slow down and can't finish. We have everything we need. We just have to finish games."

DB Travon Reid-Segure
On the difference in the second half…
"This is very disappointing. They just made plays. We did what we did in the first half and they just made plays."

QB Conor Bednarski
On the fumble that led to a Towson touchdown…
"It is obviously frustrating. We have to do a better job of executing in there and get some points out of that when we are in plus territory. When we are down there close we have to punch it in and gets some points out of it. I have to protect the ball. I have to hold on to it and not fumble. We just have to put a whole complete game together. Come back on the next drive and keep after them and be mentally strong."
