Coaches Corner: 

"We weren't so much out-played as we were out-fought in the first half. We raised our intensity in the second half, but we still lack quality in the attacking third of the field. We had 10 corner kicks in the game and didn't create any chances off them. I am proud of the way the boys competed in the second half, but we need to do that for a whole game."

Up Next:

The Colby-Sawyer men's soccer team returns home this Saturday in another GNAC match against the University of Saint Joseph Blue Jays. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.
