QUOTABLES | HEAD COACH MATT DARLING
  • "This was a fun match for both teams, I think; it had long rallies and fast play, and there was a good crowd.  Stonehill gave us trouble with their good ball control, but our blocking and their missed serves allowed us to keep the lead for most of the night."
  • "Several players contributed to this win, but I felt Jordyn really stabilized us by making the good pass or by scoring just when we needed it."
UP NEXT
  • The Lady Knights return to the court tomorrow, Saturday, September 12 first against Dowling College at 1:30 p.m. followed by Dominican at 4:30 p.m. in Easton, Mass.
