Quotables | Head Coach Matt Darling:
"We came out on the losing end of a hard-fought match tonight. My team played hard and never quit, even though we were constantly down. We had some really bad luck to lose a few key points, and Clarion made some unbelievable plays on other key points. I'm proud of the effort of this team all year, and I hope that they receive a well-deserved NCAA berth."
