FROM THE FIELD
"Our result vs Rowan tonight is disappointing. We knew this was a critical NJAC match up for us and unfortunately key aspects of our game plan didn't translate onto the field tonight. We made a few poor errors in the 4th quarter, and when you are facing a top team like Rowan, they will take advantage of your mistakes.  As a coach, I take full responsibility for how our preparation this week and delivery of the game plan didn't put us in a position to win.  We won't allow this loss to impact our motivation and preparation for our upcoming NJAC games this week. We have to remember that buy-in to our process of preparation is what ultimately creates success, and wins on game days." Head Coach Eileen O'Reilly.

The Red Hawks will return home to host Ramapo at Sprague Field on Wednesday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m.
