COACH'S QUOTE
"Very with how we set the tone defensively in the first half, our offense in the first quarter felt good as well, but credit to NJIT for turning up the heat defensively and slowing our offense down," said Mayer Head Women's Basketball Coach Alisa Kresge. "We found a way to win on the road and that's hard to do."
