Coach Szumilo's Thoughts Following Saturday's Win at CCSU
"This was a great team win against a talented Central team that can be attributed to our team defense and rebounding," said coach Szumilo following the Knights win. "We challenged the team defensively after giving up 23 points in the first quarter alone and they responded well as we only allowed 31 more points in the remaining three quarters.
Sierra came off the bench and gave us huge minutes on both ends of the court, which resulted in a double-double."

The Knights will return to action on Thursday, January 7 when they travel to Staten Island to take on Wagner.
