NOTES AND QUOTES
"We have to give Marist credit this afternoon. They played a good game, made the plays when they needed to and held on when we made a late push to get the job done. While we led statistically in most areas we still need to cut out some miscues, capitalize on our opportunities and play with a little more intensity, focus and poise for 60 minutes to win games."
