Coach Hughes Statement

I thought we responded really well after a tough loss on Thursday. It's hard to win on the road in this league and Paul Smith is a team who can certainly beat anyone with their firepower. I am pleased with how we competed and stuck together. Now we have to get ready for another conference game that we need to win.

The Knights host Albany Pharmacy tomorrow at home.
