QUOTABLE
Head Coach Nick Hager:

"It was a tough game from start to finish. I thought we executed at times, which that gave us opportunities...some we took advantage of and others, I think we left on the floor. Hats off to Westminster, their size and strength gave us problems all day. We'll bounce back and get ready for W&J. #OneBethany
