Quote
"We traded halves with UNE today. We had some momentum in overtime, we missed several chances to put the score and game away, but gave up a set piece that we did not defend well against. Tough loss for us. We will regroup and work harder to get a win in our next match." -Nichols head coach Chris Traina
