COACH'S CORNER:
- "An early mental lapse on the road cost us the game. It wasn't a 3-0 game; we took a chance and Franklin Pierce took advantage, but we can't make those mistakes early. It doesn't get any easier here with Stonehill next," head coach Kevon Isa said.

- The Yellow Jackets visit Stonehill College on Wednesday, September 20 at 4 p.m. for an NE10 contest.
