At our team meeting on Sunday, I told the team that I am very happy with our overall effort. If you have seen us play this season, you can see the effort that our players give on each and every play. I also told the team that we must start to play smart, as well as hard. In spite of the penalties and missed assignments, we still were in the game versus a good Patriot League team until the last drive of the game. I am happy with our progress, but not satisfied with the results. We will work this week to play smarter and work towards a victory versus Bucknell. Continue reading →

A huge thank you to the Brauneis’ for preparing an awesome pre-game meal for us prior to our match against DePaul.
