FROM THE MOUTH OF MARINATOS

"The guys came in and executed the game plan in the first half and we were able to get a goal. In the second half, we soaked up a lot of pressure and were able to keep Stetson from scoring and kill off the game. Good team win again, credit to the players. Our focus is on recovery and getting ready for FGCU on senior night at home." -- head coach Derek Marinatos
