"Coming off a win against a tough Albany group is a good start to a busy week for us. Vermont will be a strong opponent, and they are coming off a good win against a talented Stony Brook side. We'll need to be disciplined once again in order to give ourselves the best opportunity to get a result at home tomorrow night."
