Post game: "Merrimack is off to a great start and came in 2-0 in the league, so we knew we would need to be at our best today. We are glad the team rose to the occasion and played a complete game defensively, creatively and offensively. Merrimack is going to win a lot of games this year. Games where it all comes together are rare so we will enjoy it before getting ready for another tough game next weekend." - Head Coach
