After the victory, Coach Thompson had this to say about his team's bounceback victory:

"This was one of those nights where we had to find different ways to win but this team is talented and they know now to adjust and compete. Overall, I am super proud of this group! 3-3 going into Thanksgiving break with a schedule as challenging as ours is good! We'll come back even hungrier."

The Express enter the Thanksgiving break and return home for the first game of an Express doubleheader Tuesday (Nov. 29) to take on the Suffolk County Community College Sharks inside the Monroe Athletic Complex at 6 PM.
