QUOTING COACH O'ROURKE

"In what has been a tough season for our program, this is another tough loss.  There were large segments of the match where we showed our quality and possessed the ball in cohesive builds as we moved with purpose towards our opponent's goal.  But we continue to lack that killer instinct in the final third and without producing the goal in those match critical moments, you leave yourself vulnerable to errors or breakdowns in the back.  Now we have to pick ourselves up and get ready for our season finale on the road at Springfield this Saturday." - Salve Regina head coach Craig O'Rourke II

ON THE HORIZON:
Salve Regina finishes its first season in the NEWMAC with a trip to Springfield College on Saturday (1 p.m.).
