FROM THE FIELD
"it wasn't our cleanest game overall, I'll give our guys credit for responding in a bunch of different situations throughout the game. I think there were spurts of some good lacrosse and some spurts of average lacrosse and I think overall we were never going to complain about a win but at the same time, we're excited that we have something there and we can do better." – Head Coach Matt Poskay.

UP NEXT
The Red Hawks return home Sunday to host McDaniel at 2 pm at Sprague Field.
