QUOTABLES FROM COACH KRIESE
"After a long rain delay, we finally got to play. I give a lot of credit to East Tennessee State, because they executed all match long," said head coach Chuck Kriese. "We had many bright spots in today's match, but just could not pull it through in the end. My only regret is that our guys are really starting to come together at the end of the season."

UP NEXT
The Citadel will play one final match in the regular season, traveling to Spartanburg, South Carolina on Sunday, April 14 to take on Wofford at 10 a.m.
