Head Coach Spencer Smith thought his team created plenty of opportunities for themselves but failed to capitalize. "I thought we played well in spurts against a quality team. We were unfortunate not to score in the first half, and shortly after our opportunity, ETSU scored on their first good chance of the game. We learned a lot from tonight's match and I'm sure tonight will help us become better as we move on in the season."
