Foley's Remarks
Overall Thoughts…
"This was the typical CAA battle. The guys managed the game well. When Northeastern tied the score right before half, the guys kept their focus and stuck to the game plan in the second half which led to the opportunity to score another goal. Give credit to Northeastern, they are very physical and tough team. Now we have to focus on closing the season out strong."

Inside the Box Score
JMU tallied 20 shots with half of the shots being on target. The Huskies tallied 11 shots with six on goal and four corners in the match. Redshirt freshman TJ Bush racked up five saves and improves to 6-3-1 on the season.
