ON THE RECORD
"Such a great win for our organization, that is what mudder mentality looks like. We didn't give up and that is a great win against an unbelievable program. Collin Garner again gave us a great start and Tyler Mead and Jordan Yoder were great for us today. Everett Catlett came into the game in a really tough spot to face the top of their lineup and he was able to go through that and help us get the win and that was awesome to see. Offensively, the guys we wanted to lead us, Ubaldo Lopez, Jake Hyde and Michael Eze were able to lead us and really delivered today. In the tenth, Marco Castillo came off the bench and gave us what we needed, and I can't say enough about that moment in this game. We played well defensively today and that was a great team win. We will enjoy it tonight but will be ready to go tomorrow against UMBC." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson
