QUOTING HEAD COACH MASON POLI
"I'm really proud of the way we battled back today, it says a lot about the character of this group. Credit to Siena, that's a good team on the other side. We were more patient on offense [in the fourth quarter], we took care of the ball more and I think we did a nice job of tightening things up a bit on the defensive end."
