COACH CURRIER'S QUOTE
"We had a poor start to the game tonight, but responded very well in the second half. We made a few adjustments at half time and were able to find our rhythm early in the second half. This allowed us to get our wide players involved in the game more which created several chances on goal. Defensively, we earned another shutout which is the second one back-to-back on the road. This win allows us to stay in the hunt for the top four seeds in the A-10 tournament."
