QUOTE OF THE GAME
"I think we started very slow. We gave up a very soft goal which is very unlike us but we bounced back quickly, getting two goals in quick succession. I thought Taylor's pass and Jill's composure in her finish was exactly what we have been working on. We could have finished many more chances but this is a tough place to play against a team who plays very well at home." – Head coach Gene Smith.

UP NEXT
The Red Foxes travel back home to Poughkeepsie to face Quinnipiac on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is scheduled for at noon at Tenney Stadium.
