UDC Head Coach Matt Thompson had this to say about tonight's outing, "We battled hard tonight. We worked at it, and came away with the win.  I am glad we did because I think our guys deserved it and they earned it."

The Firebirds return to action on Wednesday at home at 4:00pm against Millersville.  Wednesday is UDC Men's Soccer Kick for a Cause game for Breast Cancer Awareness.
