Quotes
"This was another disappointing loss for us in what now is a season of disappointing losses. I thought Wentworth was a quality opponent that presented us with certain obstacles that we have yet to demonstrate an ability to deal with and overcome this season. But ultimately, we will have to learn from our mistakes and missed chances today, and try to put forth a better concerted effort next time out." – Salve Regina head coach Craig O'Rourke II
