Thought's From The Manager - Julian Richens
- Good MAAC game against an excellent Manhattan team. I thought we battled properly for 90 minutes there and had a great chance to win the game midway through the half.
- Great to see Rood score his first collegiate goal - they are special moments to see.
- We'll recover quickly and get ready for another tough MAAC rival game on Saturday.
