QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH NATHAN MILLER

• "After a really poor first half where we didn't show any composure, we bounced back and put together a much better performance. The guys did a good job of attacking USF constantly and we broke them down a lot once we settled in to our rhythm."
• "We had some key players off the bench give us a huge boost like Brian D'Ascenzo and Mario Colella. All conference games are really difficult and you have to concentrate every moment."
• "Huge rivalry match Wednesday - excited to be back in front of our home supporters"
