Quote Board
“We need to focus on playing well ourselves, and that is the most difficult thing to do game in and game out, to compete at a higher level than you did the day before. Our goal this weekend is to compete at a higher level than we did at ODU, and at the same time allow our depth and our bench to see significant playing time at Division 1 lacrosse and gain confidence.” – Head Coach Mindy McCord
“We have a challenge this weekend in how can we improve our level of play against teams that aren’t quite at that level, so our focus is on thinking about the big picture. We have to focus on our passing, cutting, and how we do things. It’s clear Howard and Delaware State are competitive against each other, and Delaware State is a fairly new program. We hope to bring a championship style of play with us.” – Associate Head Coach Paul McCord
