Head Coach Brian Kuar commented after the game, "We are happy to have gotten the win against a quality opponent, but I know we didn't play the way we need to come post season play. There were a lot of correctable mistakes that we plan to work on the next two days before Thursday versus Westchester."
 
 The Lions host their last regular season game on Thursday night at 6:00 PM.
