QUOTING HEAD COACH MARK BATMAN
"I thought we were dominant in all phases of the game. 3-0 is definitive, and getting a late goal is important for a winning mentality for this group. Those little things matter come MAC season, for getting into the conference tournament. We defended well, we played a ton of kids today and we're very happy with the group."
