HEAD COACH NIK COLPITTS' QUOTE
"We battled hard today. Anytime you play a team as talented as Bellarmine on short rest, you are going to have your work cut out for you. Credit to them, they are a very experienced and skilled team. We just didn't make enough plays to win today unfortunately. The good news is we still have a lot to play for over the next month and we are excited to get back to work on Monday as we prepare for a talented Detroit Mercy team next week."

Queens will be back in action on March 30 when they travel to face Detroit Mercy.
