COACH BILLY DONLON, QUOTED

"This was a good opportunity for young guys to get minutes … It was good, because we're not a healthy team still."
"We've been on the road a significant amount … These guys have been through a lot. Two of the first three weeks we were gone for the whole week."
"Jack (Chapman) has played significant minutes in our other games and shown some real promise at times. Tim (Barnes's) athleticism is at a high, high level, it's about getting him to play hard all the time."
"(Green Bay) is big. They have a lot of size and they opened conference play this weekend. That'll be advantageous for them coming back to non-conference play … It'll be nice to play a Division One game in front of our fans."

UP NEXT
The Roos remain at home for a matchup against Green Bay on Friday at 7 p.m. before traveling to SIUE for a road game on Sunday.
