Player Thoughts

"Muskingum did well defensively to get numbers behind the ball, which made it difficult for us to break them down and score," said Edmunds. "I thought we showed a lot of character, showed the depth of our team, and closed the game with a well-earned victory." 
 
"On my goal, I picked the ball up out wide, played it inside to Alejandro who played me a through ball into the box. After getting on the end of Ale's through ball I hit the ball low and hard at the near post, and it caught the goalkeeper off guard, deflecting off of him and into the goal. It was a great feeling to break the deadlock and I'm so happy for Ale to pick up his first point for CMU."

Next Up
The Tartans travel to Meadville, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, September 4 for a 2:00 p.m. contest against Allegheny College.
