Quoting the Seawolves
Head Coach Chuck Priore
"That was a quality win against a good opponent. He has lost the last two games in the fourth quarter against them at home in 2013 and 2015. We wanted to hold serve today and we were able to do that. We got off to a little sluggish start, but we rebounded and kept on answering offensively. I'm happy with the win a hopefully we can finish out September correctly."
