POST GAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH, STEVE WIDDOWSON
- Key takeaway from the match: "We weren't quite at our best tonight but I cannot fault the effort. Very happy to get another shutout and we defended with great commitment. We created enough great opportunities to sneak out with a win, but unfortunately our final touch just let us down. It's another point on the board though and a further reminder that every game is going to be incredibly tough."
The Marauders return home to Pucillo Field, where they will take on the West Chester Golden Rams, Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m.
