QUOTABLES
"Soccer is a tale of two halves. Unfortunately tonight we did not do a good enough job in the first half. Campbell was a very organized team and came out with a great amount of energy and commitment and proved to be too tough. However, I am very pleased with the team's performance so far this season. We are halfway through conference play and are 3-1 in the Big South. Despite dropping tonight's contest, I was really proud of the way our team came out and battled in the second half and we look to carry this momentum into the back half of conference play." -Head Coach Mathes Mennell
UP NEXT:
The Bulldogs will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C. for a mid-week non-conference clash against the University of North Carolina this Tuesday, October 11 at 7:00 p.m. at Fetzer Field.
