Quoting Head Coach Ryan Anatol
"I thought Binghamton did a good job in the first half. Tactically, they did some things that were working for them. But our guys competed and battled. We got into the half 0-0, I thought the guys did a good job staying with it. And then I thought we came out in the second half and played really well. We made some adjustments… we created some good opportunities. It was a competitive game, we're a little disappointed not to get the three points, but I'm really proud of the guys."
