QUOTING PAUL MAINIERI
“Stony Brook is a very disciplined, enthusiastic, high-energy team. I have a lot of experience coaching against those types of kids from the Northeast, and I know the passion that those kids play with. They’re hard-nosed and they’re tough because they often have to play in less than ideal conditions. The worst thing in the world we can do is look beyond our first game, and I can assure you that’s not going to happen. They might beat us, but it won’t be because we overlooked them.”
