After Coach Felty's first win as a Head Coach she expressed, "I think that everyone stepped up when called upon tonight. Hajaaha really attacked the basket and helped us pull ahead early. Schmidtt really challenged us inside, so we turned around and challenged our team at halftime to pick up the intensity on the defensive end. This Saturday we will look to continue to attack the rim and collect points in the paint against SUNY Cobleskill. We will need Hajaaha and Taylor to step up and be a big presence inside as we try for our second win going into Thanksgiving break."
