They Said It - Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the result
"It was a hard-fought battle against a really good Flagler team. The drought in the first few minutes certainly hurt us as we had to work so hard to get back into the game. Steven Lyles really bounced back with some key buckets in the second half and Omri Vorotizky was a big plus for us tonight. Beril was solid as usual and carried us in the first half."
