John Scott Quotes: "This game was never going to be easy. Cortland are a top 15 team and they've just clinched this year's SUNYAC regular season. With that said, we're disappointed in ourselves for how we defended. We gifted too many soft goals and never gave ourselves a chance. From the last game to this game, we didn't bring things forward as we'd hoped. As always though, we will regroup and we will talk about our approach to Saturday's game being at a higher level than tonight."
Up Next: The Hawks travel to Bryant & Stratton in Syracuse on Saturday, October 27 at 1 p.m.
