Senator Synopsis: 
"Another great effort tonight by our team," D&E Head Coach Nick Patella said. "We cut down on some turnovers and scored well in transition - something we're getting better at. We have a big stretch of games coming up and we've been disciplined enough to take one day at a time. We have to refocus and get ready for an exceptional Concord team Monday evening at home."
