Thoughts From the Manager - Julia Bazi
- Tale of two halves again today. We started too slow and let them get a soft goal.
- Second half we played how we know we can play but it just wouldn't go in.
- We have to be mentally strong from start to finish if we want to make a big statement in the MAAC!
- Hopefully the team learnt a big lesson today as we have a long trip to Buffalo this weekend.
Up Next
-
The Peacocks head to Buffalo, New York, to take on Canisius College on Saturday, October 8. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
