Quotables | Head Coach Matt Darling
"We were never really in this match. We were six to ten points down the entire night, and mostly Clarion did whatever they wanted to do. This will not go down as a bright spot in our season; but this team has bounced back from bad performances before, so I trust them to do it again."
