QUOTING COACH COONEY
"We started slow off the bus, but moved in the right direction as the game progressed. I was particularly happy how the whole team responded at half getting after it in the 3rd and 4th quarters.  It was great to have four newcomers score their first collegiate goal and many players get into box score for the first time ever."
