COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was another really good performance from us," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I thought the first half we created a lot of chances. We were a little unfortunate to not put the second goal in there. We challenged the guys at half time to jump on them a little bit early. There were moments in the game when we let them back in. Ultimately, everyone that came off the bench did a really good job. Then once we got that second goal, we started feeling more comfortable and the game opened up. Technically we have been playing really well. This is our third shutout in a row. We are going into conference at our best right now and that's what we really wanted to do."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers open up the Atlantic 10 season on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. against UMass.
