QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH MIKE SMIECHOWSKI
"It was an awesome performance from our men. The coaching staff has been looking for that moment where we start to believe in the caliber program we can be this year. Coming off the toughest training week of the year into a dominant performance of an upper-echelon Atlantic 10 Conference opponent in UMass is great to build off of."
 
"This was a total team win and one of the most impressive displays of toughness and championship mentality since I have been here."

NEXT UP
The Bonnies are at Le Moyne Saturday, Oct. 19 for a dual meet.
