BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"We played so well in patches today, but couldn't finish our chances. We had multiple one-on-ones with their keeper and really opened them up with our pace and movement. To concede the first goal on an own goal was also a hammer blow. We battled well and deserved a result. We look forward to the next game." -- Head Coach Enda Crehan

NEXT GAME
Coach Enda Crehan's team will be back in action Sunday, Sept. 9, at home against William Peace University. The game will be part of a non-conference doubleheader that will see the Ferrum and WPU women square off at noon, then the Panther and Pacer men take the field at 3:00 p.m. Both games will be played at W.B. Adams Stadium.
