Bryant's Reaction
"Tough games today in tough conditions. Our offensive approach in game one set the tone. One bad defensive inning in game two opened the door for Binghamton. We look to put together all three facets of our play tomorrow and come out with great energy to win the series," said head coach Megan T. Bryant.
