Quoting the Seawolves
Head Coach Chuck Priore
"Maine played really terrific defensively for the entire game. They had us off balance. We ended up making plays on offense that we needed to make when the day was over."
 
"Their running back (Josh Mack) is legit, but we kept him pretty bottled up for most of the game and shut them out in the second half which allowed for us to have the comeback."
 
"Games are won as complete games. You always tell the kids to play to the last tick of the clock and literally that happened today. It is a lesson to learn. We played to the last tick and we got it done."
 
WR Harrison Jackson
"Just to be out there and for Joe (Carbone) to trust in me to throw the ball to me, I'm blessed. Everyone played a crucial part in this win. This was a great win."
 
"Joe just threw to the ball to me and trusted me and I just went up and did what I am coached to do."
