From Coach Szumilo
It wasn't pretty but we managed to find a way to win. Despite not not shooting well, we stuck to our defensive principles, and I am proud of our team for that. I think that the St. Francis Brooklyn game was such a high intensity for us that it might have affected us today. Nonetheless very proud our team just finding a way to win.
