"We played very well tonight," Lady Barons coach Johann Marin remarked in a post-game interview.  "Nikki Traylor had an amazing performance; she was the player of the game for us tonight.  We faced a difficult team today, but all of my girls were able to raise their level of play, which allowed us to be competitive.  It would have been nice to get a win here, but the fact that we tied a team that played this well shows that we're really improving."

The Lady Barons' next contest is a home match against D'Youville College this Saturday at 1 p.m.
