Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Tony Skole
"This was a difficult weekend for us. We just didn't respond very well from the heartbreaking loss on Friday night, but I have to Furman a lot of credit for that. They played extremely well and got some big hits in timely situations.
 
"We had some bright spots on the weekend, but we need to do a better job of keeping the momentum of the game in our dugout."
