QUOTABLES

“Really excited to get to celebrate our five seniors – they have done a great job for our program and have been really great this season. I couldn't have been more proud to coach this group of seniors. They have certainly set the bar high as we move forward. They have been great on and off the field. Campbell is a very good team and is playing very well. Interested to see how the seeding plays out for the Big South Tournament, but our focus is on Campbell for 90 minutes. It should be an exciting game and hopefully we have a great crowd to honor these seniors who have meant so much for this University.” – head coach Mathes Mennell
