COACH McCOLL SAYS...
"I thought we played some good soccer in the first half but never looked like hurting our opponent. The second half was disappointing. Buffalo State are a very good team and deserved the win. However, the way we conceded the goals was far too easy and that's the most frustrating thing right now."
