QUOTABLES:

"It is an exciting time of year, and the opportunity to play a Big South Tournament game at home is awesome. Longwood is going to be a great opponent for us as they are an excellent team and are very well coached. Our regular season tilt was a hard fought match with a fair amount of drama and I would expect Sunday's game to be cut from the same cloth." –Head Coach Mathes Mennell
