QUOTES

Head Coach Michael Kinney

"It was a great effort from the guys in a very chippy game. Our offense started clicking in the second half and you could tell that was shaking off the long bus ride from yesterday. It was great to have Marshall Argenta stop up today and be the leader on the field we know he can be. We've got a lot of lacrosse to play on this trip and we will take it one game at time, but we really liked the outcome of today's effort."
