Coach Matt McArthur - A great win against a good Florida Tech team. Delighted to get the three points and share the win in our amazing stadium and soccer facility with our fans, especially on Student Academic Recognition night! We now have a few days to rest and recover as we look forward to the Eckerd game on Monday.
