Full credit to ETSU, I thought they were well organized and they did enough to score a goal, but I am really pleased with the way our guys played and the way we battled. Tough times don't last but tough people do. We're beyond excited to return home for two games in a row and move into the next phase of our season. ” -Head coach Mathes Mennell
