HEAR FROM COACH CONELY
"Big road win today against Lewis. I thought we played solid offensively for four quarters, but lacked consistency on the defensive end. I was happy with how we maintained our composure after they went on a run. We needed a couple big stops in the end that we got and we knocked down some clutch free throws to pull through. We've been on the road quite a bit and we will continue to build on this experience as we head to LSSU and Ferris State next week."
