Coaches Corner

• "Tomorrow is an urgent game for us; we need to start picking up results in conference and we must be better in the 18-yard box on both ends. In the middle of the field, we have been very good and now we have to play end to end with the same kind of dominance and precision. The team is learning and improving each game, and we are excited for the challenge Army brings tomorrow. I know the team will be ready and it will be another close Patriot League battle." - Head Coach Naomi Meiburger
