“This was a good win for us and certainly there are some things we can take from this game and build on for conference play.”

On Michael Sturns:
“I am very pleased with Michael Sturns’ progress from last year. He is thriving in his role. He just wants to contribute and help this team anyway he can. He brings a great deal of energy to the court both offensively and defensively.”
