HEAD COACH ROBIN HARMONY
"We gave Drexel a run for their money today. There were some good and bad things that we can take away and learn from heading into the most important part of the season. I know we can compete with anyone in the conference. I'm looking forward to see how this team responds in the CAA Tournament."
