Coach Lopes stated after the game, "Very proud for a few reasons: the response from Harvard, the positive reaction after conceding and how well we played in all aspects of the game. It was a total team effort, many players stepped up and tonight more importantly, we grew in more ways than just becoming a better soccer team."

The Friars will return to action on Sunday, Sept. 18 to take on the University of Massachusetts at 6:00 p.m. at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium.
