QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH DONNY GEORGE
"Today was a tough day, not just because of the loss, but because we are losing nine incredible seniors. I would like to honor the seniors and thank them for everything they have done for the program. Collectively, they have represented the program fantastically well on, and off the field. They will always be welcome and encouraged back at St. Bonaventure, and I wish them all the best on their future endeavors. As a program, we've learned a lot about ourselves this year, and we look forward to getting back to work as soon as possible."
