GAME INFORMATION Saint Joseph's 14, Bryant 7 Records: Bryant (6-6, 4-1 NEC), Saint Joseph's (7-3, 4-0 NEC) Location: Sweeney Field (Philadelphia, Pa.) COACH PRESSLER'S COMMENTS "It's hard to fathom for us that we could be outplayed in every facet of the game like that, other than the face-off. Give Saint Joe's credit. I know their head coach well – he's been one of my guys for a very long time. His team was ready to play and mine wasn't. Hats off to him; credit goes to them." "We've got a lot of season left. We have Hobart Saturday at home on Senior Day. We're still in it to win it … It's nice to be in it, but we had an incredible chance to host [the NEC Tournament] and we just didn't fight back today.
