QUOTING HEAD COACH Joe Spallina
"We live to fight another week. Today was the byproduct of us having the best week of practice we've had all year… That allowed us to completely refocus ourselves and get back to doing what we needed to do. Defense is the staple of our program and it always has been. For us, it was about getting back to being the best version of our Stony Brook defense, and I thought we did that today. We're excited to move on."
