COACH QUOTE
"Another gritty performance tonight against the Ivy League Champions. Brown got off to a fast start, scored early, and dominated in the first half. I thought we played much better in the second half. We made some changes and defensively denied Brown any shots on target. Credit to the Brown supporters who created a great atmosphere throughout the game."- Head Coach Mick D'Arcy
