From the Head Coach

"Not the start we wanted, but the guys gave me the response I was looking for in the second half. We learned some more things about ourselves in the second half and really were unlucky not to put something on the board. We will continue to work and grow, and are looking forward to getting back out vs. West Point." – head coach Matt Viggiano
