Quotable: Head Coach Brett Faro
"We knew Ashland at their place would be a tough game. They play incredibly hard and are always difficult to play against. We put ourselves in a tough spot early and had to fight to get back into it. I thought the guys showed a lot of resolves to find a way to get back into the game today. This group refuses to give in and we will look ahead to another tough one on Tuesday."
