Sounding Off
Head Coach Brian Diaz after the match
"This was a good result and a good response after a disappointing match yesterday. To comeback with such ferocity on day two of the weekend says a lot about our team. We got out to an early lead, which is the way we want to play. We had some new players in the starting lineup to provide a spark and it paid off with that goal in the first minute. SCSU came out fighting in the second half, but we were able to respond well and kept control of the match. We are really pleased with the team's performance today; we went deep into the bench for a great team win today. "
