MATCH NOTES & QUOTES 
"We had an amazing weekend with strong 7-0 wins over Drexel and Villanova. The first win was over a previously unbeaten and future CAA opponent in Drexel and was a great team win. It was exciting to follow that up with a win over a solid Big East team in Villanova. We will have a tough road test on Friday at NJIT."
- Head Coach Chris Leicht
