Head Coach Peter Krech's thoughts on the game: "We are very familiar with Mary Washington as a former opponent in the CAC and we knew the quality they had coming into the game riding an unbeaten streak of 10 games. I was proud of my team for the way we battled for 90 minutes and I felt like the first half was one of the best halves of soccer we've played all season. A special shout-out to the fans who came out tonight for the incredible atmosphere they created and the extra energy they gave us especially in the first half. We look forward to welcoming our alumni back to campus for our Alumni Game on Saturday."
