QUOTABLES
“Looking forward to our match tomorrow. We've had a little bit of a break due to weather and rescheduling, which is pretty rare in the college soccer season. It was a chance for our guys to get some time off from traveling and such, and the ability to focus in the classroom and also to get a little bit healthier and recharge our batteries. Appalachian State is an opponent who is very good. A lot of these guys have played together or against each other in high school. It should be a great atmosphere.” - Head Coach Mathes Mennell
UP NEXT
-Following Tuesday's match, the Bulldogs return home to face Coastal Carolina on Saturday night before heading back out on the road for matches at Winthrop (Oct. 17) and William & Mary (Oct. 20).
