Quote From Head Coach Constantine Ananiadis
"This was a great college match and a great match for us to go through.  It's upsetting to lose of course, but we left it all out there and Wooster was just the better team today.  A few points here and there could have easily changed the outcome today.  What a fantastic learning experience for us, one that will help us in conference play down the road!"
