Coach Belzung's Reaction
"I'm proud of our team for competing today against a gritty Canisius team. We wanted to be more aggressive from an attacking standpoint and I thought we did that, and it created some opportunities for our defense to make some plays. Congratulations to Kiani Kerstetter for earning All-Tournament honors for a great and consistent weekend of play. We are excited to be at home on Tuesday against a very good St. John's team, and hoping to pack Pritchard!"
