ON THE RECORD
"If you want to see an exciting Patriot League football game, come see Georgetown and Buckell. This is just one game in a series of five games that have come down to the wire. I am extremely proud of our student-athletes and how they came out and how they prepared for this game, all the way down to the last play of the game. Nai Mose is our lucky charm. He keeps coming up with big plays and it's awesome to see him have success. There's no better person who personifies 4 for 4, SISU and men for others than Nai. I'm really excited for us to go back to Georgetown and start preparing to go out to Lehigh, another great Patriot League opponent."-Head Coach Rob Sgarlata on today's contest.
