Quotable

"It was a sound performance all around for us and I'm ecstatic about the grit and resilience of our team," said LoPresti. "It's to early in the season to crow about big wins or worry about tough losses. After many years, we pretty much have a new team; that includes five new players. Therefore, our intentions all along was use our fall schedule gain experience, evaluate and improve. This weekend's performance did just that."
