COACH'S COMMENT
"We needed the three points for the conference," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I thought we played well, but once again we should have finished with more chances. We had nearly 30 shots in the game, but the guys pulled it out. When you keep the game close, there is always going to be the time we need to grind it out and I thought the guys did in the last 10 minutes. It's great back-to-back wins for us."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers head back out on the road to take on VCU Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. at Sports Backers Stadium.
