Coach Zelenock on the Result
"
Tonight Mercer came in very aggressive and ready to play. They were able to put a lot of pressure on us and we leaned back. We didn't play to the level that is expected at The Citadel and we will continue to stress the importance of being prepared and making every play matter the next two days as we prepare for ETSU."
