"Good road win. We generated some good chances, and we were organized" remarked Coach Viggiano after the win. "I don't think it was our best effort, but we got a win on the road which is as much as you can ask for. The team is starting to get their footing and gel together, and Allen is getting back into it the swing of things too. The first half was fairly even, but we played really well in the second half. Our depth and class showed and it was a deserved result."
Men's soccer will head to Monmouth on October 10 to continue conference play. The game is set to start at 7 p.m.
