Quote
"This was an interesting match for us… we conceded the early goal on a corner kick and I thought that may have woken us up a bit.  Obviously, we were riding the emotion of this being our Senior Day and we wanted to get the result for them in what could quite easily be their last home contest of their careers.  We knew coming in that Endicott was a very good team and we wanted to make certain that we limited their time on the ball and made the most of our possessions.  I did not anticipate us having as much of the ball as we did and I thought that was largely due to our outside backs and central midfield maintaining the possession when we had it and playing quality balls forward into the offensive third.  Other than the corner kick that they scored on, I did not think Endicott threaten us much after that.  O'Donnell's goal was nothing short of quality and he had one of his better games for us.  Leister was quite good on the day and I thought both Marino and Pate were brilliant for us in the back.  Now we have to regroup quickly and get ready for our season finale at Nichols on Tuesday." - Salve Regina head coach Craig O'Rourke II
