QUOTING THE SEAWOLVES
Head Coach Chuck Priore
"I want to congratulate Southeast Missouri on the win. They came out in the second half and caused some turnovers, which they have done all year, and capitalized on it. At the end of the day it was about a 10-minute flurry that changed the game. Credit to them and credit to their kids and credit to their coaching stuff. I wish them the best moving forward."
