FROM THE COACH
"RIT proved the more dynamic, formidable side for most of the first half, and were rewarded with two goals inside the Highlander penalty area. RIT tallied a third goal with nine seconds to go in the first half on a quick counter following a Highlander turnover in midfield. The Highlanders properly absorbed and applied a tactical adjustment at halftime, resulting in several counter chances and a nil-nil second half. Unsatisfied and undaunted, we will go again on Saturday." -- Head Coach Scott Reitnour
