From Coach Viggiano

"Really proud of the response off the trip out West. The guys dug deep and played a good road game. Thought we controlled the game from start to finish. If we take our chances a little more clinically things will fall into place. Looking forward to the test Saturday against a very good side in Cornell. It will be a good measuring stick to see where we are at before we open MAAC play next Wednesday. Hope the faithful are out supporting the guys."

Up Next

• The Red Foxes (4-1-1) return home after a two game road trip to face off with Cornell on Saturday, Sept. 24.
• Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. at Tenney Stadium.
