Head Coach Jon Atkinson on last week: We're a little disappointed about the Niagara game. The game started brightly for us, we had great possession and a couple half chances, but they hit us with a shocker just as we found our rhythm. Overall our boys played well and we’re very proud of them.
Atkinson on George Washington: This game is going to be a test for us as every game is. However, we’re excited to get to come play at home on our own field. We are pumped and ready to go.
Week #1: August 25-September 1
