From the Sideline - Head Coach Jeff Parker
- "Proud of our group overcoming some difficult circumstances to get our first point of the season away from home today. Created enough good chances to take all three points, but W&L is probably feeling the same way. Had a few specific steps forward that we're taking and a few other areas that we'll need to target for improvement. We'll need to regroup for a quick turnaround tomorrow facing Haverford."
