Foley's Remarks
Overall Thoughts…
"We can use this game as a learning experience. They are the fourth-best team in the country and they showed us why. We put this game on the schedule to prepare our guys to hopefully play in the CAA tournament and against good opponents. Tactically, we did a very good job in the first half but then UNC was able to show a more dominate second half. We will learn from this and fight hard against Charleston on Saturday.

Up Next
JMU will travel to Charleston, S.C. for a conference matchup against College of Charleston on Saturday at 7 p.m.
