QUOTEABLE: HEAD COACH NANCY FELDMAN
- "I think our defensive organization was really good. I would like us to have the ball more and I think we had opportunities to have the ball more. Our counter-opportunities need to result in some better chances when we created turnovers in their half of the field."
- "We started off with a lot of tough games. You certainly see where your faults are and where you need to make improvements and you're put to the test. It's hard because you're always under pressure but I think that should make us better."
NEXT UP: PROVIDENCE
- The Terriers head down to Providence for a matchup with the Friars on Thursday, Sept. 1.
- Opening kick is set for 7 p.m. on Chapey Field.
