QUOTE OF THE GAME
"We were outworked by a team that wanted a win more than we did. We approached them very casually and did nothing that we talked about before the game. Hopefully, we bounce back this weekend against a much better opponent." – Head coach Gene Smith

The Red Foxes return to Tenney Stadium Saturday for a MAAC showdown against the Manhattan Jaspers. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 PM.
