COACH'S CORNER
"I was much more pleased with our organization and production in the game today than in our two games from the weekend. Being down 0-1 at half gave us a challenge, but we came out and scored 2 great goals. The winning goal from
Zach Shilvock and assisted by
Ben Lawrence started in the midfield with a touch of class, simply a different level of play by Andy Bussey turning his defender and delivering a perfect ball to Lawrence who then had a great cross to the exact run we train regularly from Shilvock. It was a great goal, to produce a good win. We now need to prepare for two tough games this weekend vs. Buffalo State and SUNY Fredonia." -- Head Coach
Matthew Webb.
UP NEXT

th at Fredonia for a tourney. Highlanders will take on Buffalo State at 1:00 PM.
