FROM THE FIELD
"What a way to open conference play. We spoke before the game that if we could keep the ball in their half as much as possible that we would create chances.
It was great to have four different goal scorers and that's going to make us a very difficult team to play against." - Head Coach
Stuart Dick.
UP NEXT
The Ducks travel to Center Valley, Pa. Wednesday for a 2:30 kickoff against DeSales, against whom Stevens has won all five of its matches dating back to 2019.
