Coach's Corner
"Neumann is a really talented team that will challenge for an Atlantic East crown," said Coach Sean Westerlund. "They did some really creative stuff against our zone, and their physicality was something we could've and should've handled better. Loved how we found ways to attack them offensively in the second half. I thought our bench, specifically Zay Cureton, Noah Riley, and Dante Lanzetta did some nice things for us. This game will certainly help us as we head into conference play next week."
