From the Court

"Our guys showed some great stuff today, but NYU was the tougher team in the big moments. Despite the loss, we continue to make improvements that aren't always reflective in the score. I believe we can all take away a lot of positives from today and this close loss will make us tougher in the home stretch. We look forward to getting on the road Friday for our weekend competition." - head coach Steve Gachko

Up Next

The Ducks travel to Troy, New York for a non-conference match with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Friday afternoon.
