ODU Sports caught up with head coach Alan Dawson post game to get his thoughts on the match.
"I am very pleased with the overall performance," said Dawson. "We have a lot of new faces and I think collectively we played well as a team. We played some attractive football, the only disappointment is conceding a goal so late in the game. We didn't manage the game very well in the last five minutes or so, but we did have a lot of subs in there and there was a little bit of confusion. Overall, I couldn't be happier and I am really looking forward to coaching this team. They are going to be an exciting group to be around."
