Quotables | Head Coach Matt Darling"It's hard to understand, let alone explain, our performances these past couple of matches. Part of it, no doubt, is that our opponents were good, as IUP was today. Part of it is our poor play, though, and we need to try to address some of our weaknesses before we play at Clarion on Tuesday. At a certain point, it boils down to execution on the court. We need to be better."
