COACHES COMMENTS: "Today was a great team win," said Head Coach Dave Hoger. "We hit some adversity early but we're able to overcome and adapt. We had some big games from guys in key positions and played lock down defense in the second half. Excited to be where we are right now. We are looking forward to another opportunity Saturday."

UP NEXT: The Knights will host Trine on Saturday April 17 with a start time of 3pm.
