Quotable
> "Kudos to Virginia, they're a top-10 team and they were super clinical today. We outletted brilliantly and comfortably, Alizé Maes played unbelievably well, but I think there was a disconnection between our midfielders and our strikers so we weren't able to create offensive opportunities. What we learned from today is how to prepare for the top competition of the BIG EAST. We'll review the film as a group and talk through some areas that we need to work on." – head coach Michelle Vittese
Next Up
> The Owls will host LIU on Sept. 7 to close out their five-game homestand.
