On the game
“We really battled hard despite our injuries. This is the best we have played against such a good team, so well coached and such a classy program. Their vets really stepped up and hit some tough shots for them. Tim Reilly continues to take his game to another level and we are so proud of his growth as a player. I like where we are going and our competitive fire. We got through the crucible of this Florida trip and we cannot wait for the upcoming games.”
