Coach's Corner
Coach Gavin Oldham said, "I think that the guys did exactly what we asked of them tonight. To go on the road to Southeastern, who are a good team and take care of business is obviously pleasing, and with it being the first conference game of the season, makes it even more important that we got off to a good start. Now we have another tough road trip at SCAD and we will need to prepare for it and focus in on it."
