HEAD COACH BARRETT QUOTABLE
"We played a legitimate top 10 team tonight. We had some really good periods of play throughout the night, but you can't make mistakes against teams of that caliber. I was proud of our effort and our courage to play good soccer against them. The hope is this makes us even better heading into a tough conference game versus High Point this Saturday." - Chris Barrett
