QUOTING HEAD COACH Joe Spallina
"I thought this was a great test for our squad in a lot of different ways. For us to beat a nationally-ranked opponent that has been in the Final Four each of the last two years, it says a lot about our group. We showed the ability tonight to beat teams in different ways with different people, and I thought our players stepped up and showed that we're a full group. I'm really proud of our effort against a good Penn State team."
