Coaches comments on the tie…
"Our team fought very hard again tonight. We played and managed the game very well for the first 45 minutes. In the second half, our effort was again at a high level but some of our decisions with the ball allowed URI to build some momentum and they found the tying goal in the final minutes. We'll learn a lot about how to close out games from this performance as we head into the second half of our season."
