WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:

"Our staff is pleased to see our guys were rewarded for their hard work today against a very dynamic Framingham State team that plays with tremendous effort. We really focused on our half time adjustments and emphasized our identity of playing unselfishly, through the paint and defending the paint at the other end. We now need to build on this effort as we transition to second semester." - head coach Sean Foster
