Head Coach John Galloway
"First, I want to give a lot of credit to Hampton from this afternoon. That team plays with a relentless effort and they never quit until the final whistle. We started slow for a second week in a row and have to address our ability to get our engines going in the beginning of the game.
I am really proud of Daylin John-Hill and his production on the offensive end. We now have a quick turnaround and can turn our focus to a very talented St. John's squad at their place. It will take an all hands on deck effort to get it done."
