FAULCONER TALES
"Proud of what we accomplished so far this season, but we know we will be ultimately be judged on what we do over the next week.  Stetson has given us two tough games so far this season, though I was much more pleased with our overall play in our last match up with them.  We have been very strong defensively all spring and have had very solid goalkeeping. We have a lot of dangerous weapons on the attacking end and have consistently created very good goal scoring chances. Now it is time to put it all together to make a deep run in the ASUN tournament."
-- Head coach Eric Faulconer
