Coach Teepe's Thoughts
"It was a tough game which we expected," said head coach
Eric Teepe following the match. "We felt we battled hard and there were little clear chances for either side."
"I felt they were just a little more courageous than us going forward and thereby created chances which they eventually capitalized on. Moving forward with how banged up we are it hopefully will give us a lift for the rest of the spring games knowing we can challenge anyone."
"I was proud of my team. They stepped up to a challenge today that they didn't have to make. And it truly shows what character and competitiveness they have!"
What's Next
After Friday's match at Mount St. Mary', FDU will host its final home game of the regular season and its senior day against LIU on Tuesday, April 6 at 5:00 p.m.
