UDC Head Coach Matt Thompson had this to say about the overtime victory, "It's good to get a win after Sunday's loss to Queens, and I am happy our guys bounced back tonight.  We played fairly well, possessed the ball, and worked hard for the entire match. It was a great goal from Nana to win it.  We are looking forward to a big week next week and our match against Charleston on Monday." 

The Firebirds return to action on Monday, September 26^th as they travel to Charleston, West Virginia to take on the University of Charleston at 4:00 pm.
