QUOTES:

"Disappointing result today with how the game went," said Amherst head coach Justin Serpone. "You can't let a team as good as Middlebury hang around because they have so many good players. Credit to them for fighting so hard and getting a point. There was a lot of good stuff today from our guys so it's definitely more good than bad. We're right in the verge of breaking out offensively. I'm not sure when it's going to happen but it's going to be soon. 

Babson next up, Tuesday. This will be our third Top 20 opponent in a week so it's going to be challenging to try and keep up with them. They are undefeated and beat us last year so it'll be another game that we're the underdog. We'll give it our best shot."
