HEAR FROM COACH KALIN
- "We went into a hostile environment and against what felt like the world, we came out with a great victory. It feels great to win two straight on the road against quality opponents, but we also have to stop shooting outselves in the foot and allowing other people to influence our game."

- Marymount will close the weekend with a road tilt against Mary Washington on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 1:00 PM
- The Saints will return to Long Bridge Park against Hood on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 7:00 PM for SYC Night.
