Foley's Remarks
Overall Thoughts…
"Give credit to Drexel for putting up a good fight, which made it very difficult for us to score. Our guys were frustrated through the first half because they did not get many opportunities to score goals but made some adjustments after halftime. Great job by everybody on the team and it feels great to be the regular-season CAA champions."

Up Next
The Dukes will host the 2017 CAA Semifinals and Finals at Sentara Park on Nov. 10 and 12, respectively. JMU will face off against the winner of the William & Mary vs. Hofstra on Nov. 10 at Sentara Park.
