Furman Head Coach Ron Smith:

"We gave up one unearned run. I thought we battled against a really good team. It's the best batting team by average in the league. We competed very well offensively and played pretty solid defensively. We played much better today."

Furman's Will Miller

"It's important to be level headed at this point in the tournament. I give credit to Western Carolina for battling back and keeping their heads straight after getting down. We did a good job of getting momentum, losing it, and not letting it get away from us. We continued to have good at bats throughout the game. In the end we had one more bullet in the chamber than they did."

Furman's Alex Abrams

"We're taking the tournament one day, one game at a time. We had a tough loss last night. The big thing for us over the past couple of weeks has been our resiliency. We've taken some punches, but we've gotten right back up. We're lucky today we got the final blow. It's a testament to our senior leadership."
