Coach's Corner
  • "Today the guys and fought and scrapped for the win," said head coach Bill Boyle. "Manhattan is a good team and threatened to get back in the game. We were able to bend, but not break, and that is the sign of a team that is starting to know how to win. We are looking forward to going down to play the defending regular season champions away at Saint Peter's."
