Quotable
"I am proud of the team this weekend. We were excited to get to play at home with fans for the first time this year, and the players really brought the energy and solid play. We are better now than we were a month ago, yet the real challenge will be to be better a month from now. We have a big ACC road weekend next week when we travel to Notre Dame and Louisville" - Coach Wyshner
