Quotes
Jim Nagle
We moved the ball well in the first half. Jay Lindsay's ability to secure possession was huge for us today. We built a first-half lead that proved to be insurmountable. We definitely would have liked a better day defensively, but we did enough to get the win. Our defense on UMBC's last few possessions of the game was very good.
