WHAT THEY SAID

"Tyrell (Mitchell) and (Jonathan) Range were great tonight for us," BSC Buffalo Head Coach Damone Brown said.  "They led the way with energy and determination.  We need to get that from everyone moving forward.  We have a tough test against Point Park on Sunday and it's our last chance to get right before we start a brutal road stretch in the month of January."

UP NEXT
