BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"We finished off a good week by going 3-0. While I don't think we played great, we were able to get three straight wins and we haven't done that in while. I have to keep telling myself it's not going to always be perfect. We just have to keep moving in the right direction. You always hope to be playing your best in January and February not November and December. We now get to take a few days to spend some time with family and celebrate Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to seeing this team grow throughout the year." --Head Coach Bryan Harvey

NEXT UP
Harvey's team will take a short break for the Thanksgiving holiday and will return to the court Wednesday, November 30, for a home game against Roanoke College. The Old Dominion Athletic Conference game is scheduled to tip off at 5:00 p.m. in Swartz Gym.
