QUOTING THE SEAWOLVES
Head Coach Jim Nagle
"This was a hard fought game and an exciting college lacrosse game. We are really disappointed at the outcome. Our guys played hard, but we just didn't' make the plays we needed to at the end of the game to close it out. We will learn from this and we have another quick turnaround with Bryant coming in here on Saturday."
