Quotable

"If we don't change our competitiveness level, its going to be a roller coaster the rest of the season. The great news is we've got the skill and the talent, but we've got to change our attitude. We've talked a lot about pouring into the root: your effort, your focus and your attitude. Right now we're reaping the rewards of not competing as hard as our opponents. We say it all the time: toughness wins. The tougher team tonight won."
—Longwood Head Coach Griff Aldrich after Charleston Southern
