Coach's Corner
Head Coach Dante Calabria said "Big win for us tonight against a pesky Johnson & Wales team. We made some adjustments at half time, and the team came out and executed perfectly. We played a great second half to pull ahead for the win, and now we turn our attention to Thursday's matchup against Warner."
