Overall Thoughts…
"Very competitive match and to get a point on the road in the CAA is a good thing. Good effort from our guys, especially generating plenty of chances late in the game. Very proud of the work from Sean in the goal also from Tom Judge in the field tonight, they fought really hard. Overall it was a good game against one of the best defensive teams in the country."
