QUOTES FROM COACH BROCHU
"I think we're playing good. We had a good win on Sunday and today's goal was to keep that momentum going. FAU was ranked No. 45 in the nation, and of course we get excited playing a top 50 team, so today the guys were ready and we delivered. It was a little easier today but the goal was to stay focused and treat those guys like they were a top 50 team and take care of our business, I'm proud of the guys for not taking this match lightly."
