BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"We had a tough weekend on the scoreboard. My philosophy in scheduling non-conference games is to play a tough schedule. I want our teams to play against the best teams in the South Region. I think that helps us to see how the top teams do things. Our program has been there and we want to get back to that. These games will help prepare us for our conference season. We will keep working to figure out exactly what this teams' identity will be and how we need to play to compete in ODAC. We aren't where we want to be, but I'm seeing improvement and right now that's got to be our focus. Just keep improving! We will take a few days off for exams and Thanksgiving and then get back to work." --Head Coach Bryan Harvey

UP NEXT
Harvey's squad returns to action Wednesday, December 1, at University of Lynchburg. The ODAC game tips off at 7:00 p.m. in Lynchburg, Virginia.
