From the Coaches' Box/Michael Coll, Head Women's Soccer Coach
On the Game
"Not a good performance from us at all. We basically gave them two goals. We can't come to a team like Furman and give them two goals and expect a result."
On final two games at home
"I think home field advantage in sport does not exist. I think most teams we play get more excited to play on our field than we do."
