"We approached this weekend like it was a championship weekend," said head coach Andrew Morong. "This was our semifinal, and tomorrow is our title game. I love how unselfish we were with the ball, but we did lack a bit of consistency playing to our standard. We have a young team in the infancy of the season and we are excited to watch their continual improvement."

The Mustangs return to action on Sunday with a 12 pm home tip-off against the Panthers of Albany College of Pharmacy.
