Coach's Quote
"It's a tough one for us. As I mentioned (Saturday), Stony Brook is such a good team. They're well-coached, they're a veteran team, they're a really, really good defensive team…It really disrupted us today, especially with having 25 turnovers; never mind their points off the turnovers, too. We really struggled with that. I think it came down to…focus, definitely with the back-to-back days." -- UNH head coach Kelsey Hogan
