ASSISTANT COACH ROBB STONE
"After a tough start to the season, we went out there today to just go 1-0 on this particular Sunday and we were able to accomplish that. Give credit to Presbyterian, they gave us all we wanted today and we need to take today's win to build momentum with four tough matches during the upcoming week."
