COACH SHELY BEHRENS QUOTES
• "A good PSAC win against a solid IUP team. It was nice to get a corner goal and build from there. I think we created chances and played well against a stingy IUP defense and goal keeper, so credit to them. It was really good for us to get a road and conference win this morning."
• "We know all of our PSAC games are going to be tough home or way, and although we left some chances on the field today, we feel good about the win and want to keep building on our performance."
