"I thought we saw a fairly solid effort tonight, from our starters to our reserves," Head Coach Seth Roland said. "Our two preseason scrimmages have pointed out a few things we need to do better as well as some real positives. We look forward to the opening of the regular season this coming Friday when we host 2011 NCAA Tournament competitor Stony Brook."
