Notes from Coach Denton on the Road
"Mental error late in the first half was a huge factor in the game. To concede on a long ball was very disappointing on our end. We created opportunities through the game, but we needed to be more clinical. We have to keep working and believing, and work towards getting something for our next match up on Friday vs. UNCG. It's also Senior night, which is also always a special night and we are looking forward to celebrating our seniors with a positive performance on Friday."
Davidson comes home for a Senior Night game vs. UNCG this coming Friday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m.
