Coach Lucas' Comments
"It was a solid day from the lads. Flagler is a top-10 Division II program so we knew they could be dangerous. The guys were locked in from start to finish and it was a comprehensive result. Hopefully this gives us some momentum heading into another tough ASUN match Saturday." -- Head Coach
