HEAD COACH BLACK FLICKNER ON THE WIN
"Really proud of the character our guys showed today in bouncing back after a tough loss. They did a great job, especially on the defensive side of the ball. St. Mary's is tough and they hurt us on the glass, but overall we had multiple guys step up and play really well and really efficiently. They executed the game plan really well."
