Â
NJIT was a great test for us and compares very well to the top of our conference in every way. With that said, I was very pleased with some of our possession into the final third to create chances and opportunities, including producing seven corner kicks. We talk every day about being the best version of ourselves at whatever our role may be on gameday and I thought we owned up to that which I was very proud of. This team has a lot going for them in regard to their belief and buy-in to our culture, which excites me for the games ahead. We continue to work towards preparing for the MAAC! - Nicole Pacapelli
