Quotable
"This is a great result for our group. This weekend was a great test of our ability to manage two overtime matches. Tonight was a team effort, we competed everywhere on the pitch, grinded, and kept a very good Northeastern team off the board. We had two fantastic chances in the second half but their goalkeeper came up huge to deny Taylor Ross on the first one, the second was a glancing header that narrowly slid past the post. This result is one that we can build upon." -- Head Coach Michael Needham
