It was the first career varsity coaching win for the Hornets’ Jaren Jeffcoat, a former Norwich University 1,000-point scorer who took over the program this season.
“The team played very good defense, with the exception of foul shots allowed,” Jeffcoat said. “We did a good job keeping them outside the paint, making them take jumpers and rebounding it. Aside from allowing over 30 foul shots, they did a fairly good job defensively.”
The Hornets had a double digit lead in the fourth quarter.
“The game was pretty solidly in control,” the coach said.
