Head Coach Mark Calvi
- On the win:
"(Matt) Boswell really hung in there and gave us five good (innings). He was strong and really battled. He did an outstanding job in a close ballgame. And (Tyler) Lehrmann came in and pitched extremely well – both guys did. We touched home plate two more times than they (Coastal Carolina) did today."
