"Proud of our effort today. We felt that we didn't play with the intensity necessary last week, and the guys responded with a great week of practice leading up to tonight. Joey Jendusa had a terrific all-around game, and I thought Dane Hamilton provided a nice spark off the bench. Both Anthony Bernero and Nemi Ostojic ran the floor well and battled with Beloit's very talented big man. 

Need two good days of practice and get ready for a very good Marian team on Saturday!"
