QUOTING THE SEAWOLVES
Head Coach Chuck Priore
"We needed to play physical on both sides of the ball and we did that. We kept them (Fordham) out of the endzone until three minutes to go in the game, which was important. We dominated defensively for most of the game. Overall, I'm pleased, but we need to get better."
