Coach's Corner
"I thought that our urgency on the defensive end was consistent throughout the game," said head coach
Bobby Hurley. "If we can continue to be consistent on that side of the floor, we will be in a position to compete in a lot of games throughout the rest of this season.
"It is great to see our players continue to push themselves to get better throughout practices and games through this intersession stretch, and all of the credit goes to them as they show up every day ready to get better."
Up Next
The Ducks will remain home to host The Sage Colleges at 5 p.m. on Thursday in the first meeting between the programs as Empire 8 members.
