THEY SAID IT
Head coach Nick Brochu
- On this weekend's matches: "We have two big matches this weekend, and we are excited and ready after a good weekend in Birmingham coming back with two road wins. These are two of the biggest matches we have this season, and the team is definitely looking forward to playing them. It's going to be very nice to have two great opponents at home. We've had some good support from our fans in the previous matches this season, so it's nice to have this little advantage from our home crowd."

- On the two opponents: "Last year, our season was cut right before we were about to play those teams, and we've been playing them every year, so we have a little bit of a rivalry that has developed over the last few years. South Florida is a big team, and they have been ranked in top 50 and even in top 40 in the last couple of years. It's a big challenge, and it brings motivation to our team.

"UNF is a tough team as well. They're just like us and are always in the rankings. Every year they are able to sneak in a few big wins, so that's definitely a match that we need to be ready for, and we're excited to play them at home."
