Quotable
FAU Head Coach Charlie Partridge
"Obviously a disappointing loss this afternoon. That was a heck of a team. I have to give a lot of credit to Western Kentucky and what they have done. You can see the experience, the age, the development of those guys who have been in their program for this amount of time."
