Quotes and Notes
"Moments, right? We give them a goal in the first half and then they get a penalty and then that's it, right? I think the game was very, very even. I think we were better today than we were against Seton Hall. Our defensive shape was good. I think we limited them to chances. We just have to look at the video, correct those moments, and get ready for a strong NJIT team on Sunday." –
