QUOTABLE

• "Frank had a really good tempo going, and Donovan stayed in that rhythm. It really set the tempo for our offensive, and we were able to capitalize on a couple of key situations. We also had a couple of stellar defensive plays that were big momentum killers for Adelphi's offense. Tomorrow will be a tough ballgame. Southern New Hampshire is always a quality team that is well-coached, and it will be a great test for us. " – Lynn head coach Rudy Garbalosa
