QUOTING HEAD COACH PAUL ZAZENSKI
"Overall it was a good team win. I thought we started off a little slow again, but once we got a hang of the game we played well - especially in the final third. We didn't have the cleanest game in the midfield or back line, but we were able to keep the zero and put some goals on the board. We've got to take away the things we did well, work on things we didn't and then quickly reset before UNCW."

UP NEXT
The Dukes travel to Greensboro, N.C. for a 1 p.m. match against No. 14 UNCW on Saturday, Sept. 29.
